The connector to the starter solenoid on these Jeeps are cr@p. Had to splice in a new connector/wire to the start solenoid terminal. Simple job, but a PITA since you can only get 1 hand in that area to work. Would have been nice to have a lift. Likely much easier to do if 2WD. That said, much easier to do than to replace the starter when the problem is the harness/connector! |

injector seal (copper crush washer) was leaking. Removed injector, cleaned injector and seal seat in head, installed in copper washer with the old injector.
