Getting sick of this dang thing! Long story short....Bought 98XJ 4.0 that "just needed a fuel pump" which they had, um, nope had to go buy one. No fuel/spark. Replaced CPS got fuel no spark. Coil tested bad, replaced...no go. Pickup coil broke while I was messing with it, replaced to find nothing new, changed TPS...nothing. Borrowed ECM from a friend from a 2001 It ran!!! But for a few seconds then shut down. Bought a ECM for a 98 and it ran great! oh, to back up a second. They took it off the road because it was surging...sputtering....running fine, etc. Now that we have it running it is back to doing it again... Codes come up as TPS and ECM and transfer case something or other (it doesn't stay in 4low,least of my concern right now) I took the wiring harness apart around back of valve cover where I have read it can wear and short out, nothing, checked all wires in harness between ECM and TPS but all look fine.
HELP! Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!!

Had new Rubicon Express 3" extreme duty leaf springs installed today. After I added the rear bumper/tire swing those tired stock springs, even with the add-a-leaf, settled too much and when fully loaded (ie. my 100+ pound dog and luggage), the rear tires occasionally scrapped when going over bumps.

didn't get a chance to post it yesterday but...
gave the wifey's WJ a bath and spent about an hour trying to get the 3m adhesive off over top of the windows from when the PO had vent visors over the windows and evidentally fell off (probably due to lack of prep)... started to rain so I couldn't wax it like I planned...
so I decided to do some work on my XJ 'cause rain doesn't stop me from doing that... figured out where the creaking was coming from when I turn... track bar to axle mount was loose... tightened up the bolt (which was fun trying to get the wrench onto the nut)... no more creaking - but now I have a pop that sounds like it's coming from the driver's side frame rail - oh well... whole thing needs new bushings - it's on the to do list
after that, I decided to finish removing the adhesive that held on the factory trim... now all I have to do is prep for paint on the lower rockers... als trimmed up the bottom of the passenger side flare even with the bumper.... I trimmed the driver's side a few months back after removing the air dam and hadn't finished the other side till now... finally making some progress - nice to have some time off
