Anyone near me (elgin) with a timing gun? Mine isnt working anymore and dont want to buy one until I tear the motor apart if needed, I think its a few degrees off knocking a bit and exhaust temps are too hot. Thanks in advance.

I dont have an spot thermo anymore due to dropping it 30' but just as common sense and my mechanical apptitude I know for a fact the Muffler isnt supposed to vaporize water on contact after 10 minutes of run time. This all started with a smoking cat.....

Jr, If your cat was smoking, I wonder if you have partially plugged up the muffler. I have the light, but not anywhere near you.

Ive been thinking of cutting it off from the trans xmember back. Front pipe is split too and im sure the stock manifold is cracked.... I hit em both with a mallet and got no noise which doesnt seem right. Im sure the PO did damage trying to wheel it. The noise in the top end could be from a plugged pipe. I have zero loss of power and strong flow out the tailpipe

Crack in the header equals possible air in the exhaust in front of the O2 sensor which leads to a rich mixture. I had a mis once and made my muffler hot enough to discolor the muffler.

I think youre right. After a bit I decided to snort the tailpipe. I got buzzed lol shes running rich. Now to coax the wife into letting me use the plastic money.

And she made the comment "id like a wrangler" the other night when out in the xj. I thought that was funny as she hates the xj because of its issues.
