Not much of an update. Spent the money for it on an MJ for my son. So the ZJ is going to FF instead. But it will be going to WOTR so in about a month it will be getting worked on again

I'll be there. Leaving Tuesday afternoon, coming home Sunday. I managed to get myself in the front of the groups every day I am there They were kind of hurting for trail leaders, I guess. I think a lot of peeps are wanting to keep options open.
It should be a great time - a LOT of Cherokees, including one being raffled off.

Along with the tips:

MAP sensor tube
There is a brittle little tube. It comes out of a rubber plug, low on the engine side of the throttle body. It runs back to the firewall, then up to your MAP sensor, behind the valve cover, higher up on the firewall. It has one vacuum line as already mentioned, with a 3-wire plug in the bottom.
CRUCIAL!! The MAP sensor will tell the ECU to dump fuel with little to no vacuum to the MAP. Any crack or blockage and it will be pig-rich. ( black smoke, fouled black plugs, must hold your foot to the floor to keep the engine running). You can pull the line off the MAP sensor and feel for vacuum with your finger. If it runs!
A visual inspection usually reveals any issues with the line from the throttle body to the MAP sensor.

Sounds like you may have multiple issues. Should be at least 3 wire terminals at the dipstick tube stud.

Got a multi-meter?
