Hello everyone. I am here at the request of jrichker.

For years I have been referring to this forum and others like it when troubleshooting the Mustang GT 5.0 engine that sits under the hood of my Jeep CJ-7. The "surging idle checklist" has especially always been an incredible help when diagnosing problems. After recently contacting jrichker by email, I was assured that I would fit right in here despite having such an odd engine and vehicle combination.

Thank you for the welcome comments. It's also nice to see there are some other Jeep lovers around here too.

At this point I would tell you that decision was very smart.
