We've done a few meetups. HRJC (Hampton Roads Jeep Club) does a quite a few and we do an annual run to Corolla each August through this neighborhood of the forum. We really should get another meetup planned soon though (hint hint to our local mod Red82 ).

 

Someone want to plan a meet, you can count me in.

 

has anyone heard or seen the back cargo light right when you open the back hatch ever catch on fire? Because mine shorted out today and almost took my jeep out.

 

I have heard of the switch melting, but mostly they just fail and stop working, like in my 96.
Now is a good time to switch to LED interior lights. I used ones that are $1.50 each and light up the jeep very well. Direct plug in LED panel with 24 lights, 1.5" square.

 

I was putting my new headliner in (which Ill have pictures soon) and I seen smoke rolling out from the switch and I was like great here we go, well thanks for the input steve would you happen to have a link or a P/N for those LED lights? thanks

 

A fresh headliner gives it a good feel. I installed carbon vinyl and wrapped the visors also.

does anyone have a stock exhaust or a cat for sale, im willing to meet with cash.

 

Ok I can figure out why my 1998 Jeep XJ 4.0 AW4 is sputtering at 2300rpm. It only does it in 3rd gear.

 

Pull your TPS, clean it up and reinstall it and report back. Easy and only costs a can of throttle body cleaner.

 

Already done that and replaced tps. What should happen when you unplug the IAC?

 

Did you replace with a mopar tps? Never use an aftermarket tps, they have the highest fail rate, my buddy at the jeep dealership has seen em fail right out of the box.

 

no start, rough idle, intermittent stalling, bad acceleration would be the main symptoms.

Will it just shudder but still shift into 4th/OD?

 

It was a tps from rockauto not sure what brand

 

Well the funny thing is I disconnected the IAC and it ran fine but it still sputters at 2300rpm

 

I'm still thinking TPS then to be honest. I know it's a pain, but I would return the RockAuto one and get a true MOPAR.
