Replaced coil, cps, drove all over the place, got 1100 lbs of feed, drove in the snow for the first time in a long time, decided I liked the jeep again, then after it had been off for an hour it was hard to start, then ran, stalled, ran, stalled when I shut the hood, ran, had a few blips like I hit the key off while driving, but runs and sounds great usually. I take it back, I don't like this jeep.

So I've been having a problem with my YJ since I got it back. Thought the trans was popping into neutral while driving, so I took it to the shop I trust. They did a trans flush with ATF4, and it was good for a day. Started again the following day.

Turns out (realized today) my vacuum disconnect collar is slipping, and I'm losing power to my wheels. (Currently in 4WD without a rear shaft). I'm glad I did the flush cause it was really low due to the torque converter being improperly refilled, and I'm even happier it's a vacuum disconnect issue as opposed to a bad trans.

Now I'm getting ready for work, and I'll tackle a few little issues tomorrow.

Also got my QuickFist rollbar mounts in the mail today. I've heard good things, and I'm eager to mount my HiLift properly and without zip ties.

I replaced the autozone one that was the only one available at the time for a napa one that I've heard/read good things about. I don't live anywhere near a jeep dealer so if I decide it is in fact the CPS I'll order an OEM one. Haven't ever had a bad napa part, though any thing is possible.

You haven't gotten rid of that yet? At least do a cable kit.

Yeah no kidding. I don't think you can find a "good" used 32RH anywhere lol

Manufactured either in Wisconsin, or mexico.

They have supplied sensors and switches to the "Big Three" for many years.
Chances are the sensors that came factory on your jeep were made by them.
