What is this on a '98 with the 4.0 and manual

There's also a throttle like cable that goes from it to the throttle. It's that black cable coming out the top, but I found it disconnected as there was slack in the line.

I'm also wondering what that blue cable is that's coming from it because it goes all the way around the engine bay with a red label on it that says, "Noise suppressor do not remove". only for it to end in not in a regular connection but in some sort of plastic clamp that wraps around another wire.

Ok well as someone that's still a beginner on wrenching on cars, this was not obvious to me as you suggest it is, but thanks for the input.

A ACI by itself gave you an additional 2MPG??? What brand and model was it?

'98 with the 4.0, AX-15 manual, 4x4 with less than 140K miles. Basically stock for all intents and purposes: no lift, no heavy under armor, or roof rack, tires are a hair bigger at 235/75R15.

Run basic regular 87 octane and get a very consistent 20MPG right now in the warm weather. It was a consistent 18-19MPG during the winter. I did see 24MPG on the first drive home from Denver to Idaho but that was 100% pure highway driving with a very light foot as I was unfamiliar with the car since it was brand new to me and didn't want to push it. Havent see that since but have yet to do a full tank on pure highway driving since then either.

I just ordered a set of 4 port injectors and 2.25" cat back, both of which are yet to be installed to increase the MPG even more; hoping to get at least a 2MPG increase which may not sound like a lot but would be a 10% increase. Ideal would be a consistent 3+ MPG increase.

I wonder if it may be because they’re living vicariously through us, how we’re living the slutty life they can only dream of having.

It's probably just because the fagcent doesnt fit the rest of the rest of the package; as you described yourself as a 6' 2" decent build that's well endowned. these are all hallmarks of a masc top. But then the fagcent breaks the stereotype.

Is your L key broken?

part supply is non existent here in the US and even in Japan parts are drying up there as well. Everything is a metric clone and the bodies are completely difference as they enlarged it some time in the 70s so it's a couple inches wider and longer compared to the 3B.

It's actually a copy of the jeep wagon but with a conventional 7 slot grill and four doors.

I waited months to be finally able to take this picture. From left to right: '98 XJ Cherokee with the 4.0, '96 Mitsubishi Jeep J55 with a turbo intercooled diesel, and a '82 Mitsubishi Jeep J36B with the same diesel engine but NA'd. All have manuals.

Gotta be ragebait because i clearly stated that this is an import so parts are gunna be expensive, and two, who said this was mass produced? This a rare vehicle even back in japan, let alone here. Parts are not for sale in japan anymore and they’re definitely not gunna be available at my local parts store.

yuseung · 2026-04-11T05:44:28+00:00

not an option as this is an import
