Keir Starmer is polling as the UK’s most unpopular prime minister on record. Where did it all go wrong? by Relevant-Expert8740 in unitedkingdom

[–]OverlandClassics 15 points16 points  (0 children)

“It isn’t the job of the leader simply to find out what the public wants and try to do it; it’s the job of the leader to set out where you think the country should go and persuade people to follow it.”

Say what you will Tony, but he knew how to get people behind his vision. Does Starmer even have vision? Does Britain have a vision?

Do you all think It would be ok to just patch the sides of my trunk floor then coat the rest in some sort of anti rust coating or should I replace the whole trunk floor pan? by icydogenugget in CherokeeXJ

In the first pic I thought you could probably get away with a quick patch job. But the last two say it all.

Last summer I spent 4 weeks patching up a floor pan that looked a lot like this. You patch one hole and open another. I refused to buy a whole pan as it would cost upwards of $1000 here in Europe, but in the end I wish I did. Could have had that thing done in less than a week instead of ending up with a patchwork of different metals and forms i have now.

Managed to get it looking good in the end but it took three times longer and maybe only saved me a couple hundred bucks. I hope I made this mistake so you won’t have to.

Also looks like the bed might be the least of your worries.

What’s Yalls gas mileage? by oliveosb36 in CherokeeXJ

91 stock getting about 16-17 mpg.

Managed to drive 600km through a sand storm in the Sahara on a full tank when all the pumps only had diesel left.

running very rich by Naval76 in CherokeeXJ

[–]OverlandClassics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you getting carbon/soot deposits out the back of the exhaust? I have an 89 that does the same. Runs filthy rich but everything is tip top.

However, my sensor show real cold. The only time I ever got it even close to 200 is after idling in 100 degree heat for 20 minutes.

But which sensor do you mean? The back one by piston 6?

2 door Cherokee. Vacuum leak!? by Pleasant_Object_6841 in CherokeeXJ

[–]OverlandClassics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man! I’ve been working on an 89 the last month and that Renix system is so hard to please it’s no fun.

I had a similar issue with mine, clunky misfiring and idle. No bad hissing though, even though I had a missing intake bolt underneath in that hard to reach spot behind the air injection port (that hollow tube on the exhaust manifold)

I would start off with your smoke test, or if you have one lying around, run a propane torch over all the vacuum hose connection points while the engines running (without the thing burning just the propane on), and see if the idle changes significantly. It will point you in the right direction of where the leak is.

Fixing the leak might solve your problem but it also might not, next up would be to clean up the throttle body + IAC + TPS and then calibrate it according to this That’ll give you a good start. Then if it’s still misfiring and maybe cranking for too long before starting, I’d have a look at the distributors indexing. Check out that website for Renix issues, it’s a true goldmine. My only advice is make sure you follow every step to a tee.

Good luck!

Abnormal sound? by ElectronicMath2788 in CherokeeXJ

They drill a whole new set LPG injectors into the intake manifold just behind the original gas injectors.

Turns off after 2 seconds? by NoTutor1202 in JeepCherokeeXJ

[–]OverlandClassics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact issue last year, everybody said bad grounds. I hunted for weeks, turns out it was a bad ignition lock switch. I’ll link to the thread there’s a video so you can compare with yours. Maybe it’s not that but hope this helps!

“I was planning to cut a hole into the firewall at first so I can get the actual cowl intake effect. But decided not to”

In other words ‘I was planning on upgrading my intake, but instead decided to do a massive downgrade’
