I have a conundrum...my dad told me he has a friend who started powdercoating and he offered to do my wheels for like 75 a piece....should I get the stock wheels powdercoated or get blackrock d-windows?

 

Depends. You stock? But then steel d windows are like 69 each..... D windows!!!!

 

D windows

 

D windows for sure

 

Thanks guys...I need tires for the back soon so I might get them before they go on....and yes I'm running stock, but I'm going to get some 3.75 bs 15x8 blackrocks so when I get a 4.5" lift I'm ready to go!

 

Put in 784 injectors in today, Reset the computer, now she runs terrible?! and when I got home from driving around check engine light went on.

From what I can describe only as running super rich, is this just something the computer will work out over the next couple days? or is there something more serious going on?

 

That is correct. When the ECU is reset it reverts to factory defaults which are rich. It will take 20 or 30 full warmup cycles to determine new values for fuel/air mixture and run properly again.

 

Thanks salad for the quick response, now I can stop worrying about it so much, started to think I killed her or something

 

No problem. Had your XJ long? That feeling doesn't go away lmao

Strange electrical problem.

During the process I needed to get a tool from the back and I opened the rear hatch. When I was done and I started the jeep up I now have a light on the dash that says the rear hatch is open and my rear ceiling speakers don't work. The hatched is closed but the problems remain.

Any suggestions where to start looking.

Your cabin air comes from a cowl behind the firewall which pulls air from scoops in front of the windshield. On the drivers side there is a vent so air can enter this cowl, while on the passenger's side there should be solid plastic to prevent water from entering the cabin air intake, which is also on the passengers side.

Considering this happens to you only when it's raining, this suggests its not condensation from an AC line, and may be rain (unless you also only run the AC when its raining). You may want to investigate the cowl in front of the passenger's side to see if there are any leaks allowing water to enter the cabin air intake.

 

there is a little rubber boot thing between the top of the hatch and the roof of the xj. i would start there to see if any wires have been broke or stripped or w/e from opening and closing the hatch alot. mine were wore through bad. little bit of liquid electrical tape and some duct tape and i haven't had a problem since.

 

Since December, this is my first "older" vehicle... So I try to be extra careful with it I guess.

I do have a check engine light on as well but couldn't get it to show me the code last night, tried everything I found online about have the dash show me. I am guessing that since it is running bad with in adaptive mode it throws the code? Will that also clear when it doesn't run retarded?

 

Thank you! I will have to take a look, and no right now I am not running the ac
