What did you do to your XJ today? 1M Views

Had a no start couple of days ago, cranked over wouldn't fire gauges not working. Got under it and had a look at wiring for CPS appeared OK. Tried it again and it started!!
So yesterday changed out the CPS for a low k one I had and changed O2 sensors as well. started up and ran notably smoother. Decided regrease noisey idler pulleys and to pull the A/C compressor off as well to try and regrease the clutch bearing. Pulled the clutch to find bearing is stuffed (falling apart). got a newish compressor from work that had failed internally and pulled the bearing from it (like new). Fitted it up to my compressor and re installed in car and all good, just got to regas it today.
So jeep is quieter and runs smoother and hopefully claws back some of the fuel economy I had lost. Not bad for a days work and no money spent.



This creek gets crossed regularly so probably why the bearings haven't coped.
On this day the creek was pretty high and I thought I would get out and take a photo of it with the water right up to the sill,(IDIOT) when I got back in she had water through the floors.

Gave my jeep a good service today all the filters and oil as well as fixed a leak from the rear of the transfer case. Was amazing how quiet it was to drive after greasing the front end.

Swapped a torn left rear bumper cap with a not torn one that I had picked up a t the wreckers. Once it was scrubbed and heat gunned back to dark shiney black and bolted on I had to re-hab the right side one to match it.
Also replaced heater control valve.
Now the heater works without having to open the hood and manually turn the hot water on!
BTW, valve is also used on a falcon, bought it from Sparesbox.com.au, cheap, quick delivery and perfect part first time.

grabbed my spare new-in-box TPS to test in my black Jeep, as it misbehaves during 3-4 shift sometimes.

turns out the plug & sensor is different.

went to the white one, and it has that plug/sensor too...more elongated than the black one, which is somewhat circular

here is what I am thinking to do; cut each plug out, and make harnesses.. red,black, green (5V, earth, output), using shielded spades, then I will be able to interchange at any time to test *possibly* faulty sensor

does anyone foresee a problems with this?

In the pre-updates there are two different TPS units, the OBD1 variant and the OBD2, the issue gets a little confusing as the early OBD2 models still used the OBD1 sensors (mostly), I see no issues in making an adaptor to enable the use of both sensors. When I swapped mine from OBD1 to full OBD2 I grafted in a second Crank Position Sensor connector to enable the use of my almost new OBD1 CPS, that was a couple of years back, it's still in there, the only difference in a lot of the sensors is the plug.....
