all issues are related to the same root problem..
shit doesn't run correctly.

- had to pull glovebox for engine CPU

- daisy chain of hacks into a column Crank/Run wire...  need dedicated circuits, and some things can go away for good..

- gauge pod didn't want to register temp.. thats kinda  a problem with a fresh motor/head

Jeep still runs and drives and its not locked in a building somewhere...
you gave me a nice (and much appreciated) head start on this. I would have wandered down the path of coating manifolds, painting stuff, engine compartment cleanup, etc.   that would have been Chip worthy..

I'm not getting enough fuel at idle.
Howell sending me a new "stock" prom with a touch richer mixture at cold idle

Troy says cam chips are normally leaner and that could be the issue I am having.
If this chip and traditional engine tuning doesn't resolve there is something going on with pump in tank.

Some weekend work while waiting for new prom...
- Valve cover resealed
- gauge pod back together
- fuel lines will need to be rerouted

Temp gauge still inoperable... New sending unit tests ok, ordered a new gauge
Ran engine to operating temp and no leak from back of valve cover..
Not happy with where fuel line is.  I feel it's getting cinched between body and frame.
Pulled it ontop of frame in wheel well to have unrestricted flow..

Back of the Land Rover has become YJ workstation.

unless a laptop can tell me whats going on inside the motor its going to be useless...
Fuel delivery is running best it has in years..
white smoke coming from tailpipe and breathers is telling me this thing is fucked.

live data will show very quickly what is unhappy.  still sounds like fuel delivery issues.

??? Where?

I'm not on the book


Dropped at Scottys for them to play with
Seems there might be an external oil leak from back of head.
Shop might have missed crack or bad head gasket.  Evaluating more this week.
