The one TRE on the driver side is the shorter one . Then you have the adjuster sleeve. And the second TRE is the long one solid piece that goes straight to the Y. Unlike the XJ TR thats a long hollow adjuster bar.

And yes dukie, sorry. Im answering your threads questions while your out building fences bwhahahaha ;P

did some work on the jeep yesterday. Replaced the ignition coil and the spark plugs.

Old coil had no less that 7 separate cracks in the casing lol. Old & Busted:








New Hotness:




Plugs def needed changing. 0.050" gap pretty uniformly, and #5 had oil on the insulator (possibly from taking it out crooked).

Yea i was actually surprised. CEL has come on every day for the last 8 months or so from a 02 sensor code (cracked manifold making it read lean), so i expected to see way more carbon on them, but they look great. I actually looked and the last time I changed the plugs was November 2010, so it was definitely due lol.

Still trying to track down the cause of my exhaust "burble" at idle. Almost like it skips a beat every few revolutions. But nothing has led me to the engine misfiring (runs very well off idle), and the ignition stuff i just did had no effect on the issue. The new manifold will hopefully solve that minor issue as well.

OBDI or OBDII? Did you hook it up to the scanner yet and see what it's doing? If it's not that, the only other thing I would think it could be would be the distributor. I'm no expert though.

OBD 1. Cap and rotor were new when i put the upgraded plug wires on (June 2013) so the issue shouldn't be with that. Wouldn't hurt to pop the cover off and check everything out though

The zj does this two, just replaced the o2 and the manifold, still does it. But definitely made it less noticeable. But it runs like a top so I'm not worried. The burble that is.
