784 injectors and a 60mm throttle body runs great. I would hope for an mpg increase but im pretty sure the codes im getting are the reason im getting horrible mileage...

Have you run your codes yet. Also the system won't realize what you've done until you've drive. A good amount of trips, usually 3 good trips

Or reset the computer and run through 50 warm-up cycles. Depends how drastic your changes are.

True of his changes are already bad resetting the comp won't change much but some ppl complain their numbers drop a good 3-5mpgs until the system relearns the new stuff

yeah, i've got them posted up in the oem tech thread. I was gonna go check for bad fuses. However the new codes are pointing to the tps, which was good when it was on the other throttle body.

In your case reset the computer by touching the battery clamps together, not to the battery of course, for like 30 seconds. Your system just needs to Learn your new intake

1. Disconnect the battery by removing the positive battery cable. Remember, the positive battery cable.

2. Ground the positive cable to the negative cable for 30 seconds to erase the electric charge in the capacitors.

3. Reconnect the positive cable to the battery.

4. Turn the key to on (Accessories) but do not start.

5. Turn the headlights on.

6. Turn the headlights off.

7. Turn the key off.

This will reset your computer to factory default. Then, drive normally, and it will learn how to operate.

More scouring on craigslist for a 2 door.
Trying to find a decent XJ at a reasonable price around here is almost impossible anymore.

Edit: for the record I don't hate on liberties I just hate they are produced by dodge and their upper ball joints suck
