    I replaced my fuel pressure regulator today. Didnt take any photos because it pissed me off from the first snapped bolt. But it fixed the problem now. Starts first shot every time now. So happy that jobs out of the way!

        Must do mine, just not looking forward to putting the tank back in, last time was a bitch.
        It doesn't matter how big a problem you have with your Jeep,it's nothing that money can't fix.

              Turns out after all that my alternator is ********ed. A dying battery and dead alternator will throw up some random codes!

                Yesterday i went for a burn up the beach and now when i put it in reverse i get a banging noise. It goes away when i press the clutch in. Im guessing ive ********ed a reverse gear inside the box. So keep an eye on this post as ill be doing a full gearbox/gears/synchro/clutch rebuild. Sigh. Never ending dramas with this car. Im glad its not my daily. I seem to find something new to break after every outing!

                  Started tearing down the gearbox today.









                  Found the cause to the banging in reverse. Missing a whole tooth on tge reverse idler gear





                  Ordered new idler gear last night



                  Also i found that my gearbox has the external clutch cylinder. I thought they were all internal on the early Tjs. Mines a 97 model. Can anyone shed some light on this?
