Re: 91 XJ: idling problems
The plug wasn't number one, it was number two (counting from the front of
the vehicle, in ascending order). This plug was the ONLY plug that was
different from the rest. It was a Champion 4412 and 1/4 (at least) of the
electrode was completely worn away. The other plugs are all Autolite 985's.
I'm thinking the stealership had something to do with this, because I
normally use Autolite 985's. I'm wondering if they might have put in a used
Champion 4412 for some bizarre reason. The SUV starts, but I'll have to see
if this clears up my idling problem. If not, it's on to the TPS and throttle
body for some cleaning.
Thanks for the help everyone...

Give the guy some time. I have a coworker who bought a new jeep and
wouldn't even drive the thing in the rain for a month or so. Now he
is complaining because he bunged up a skid plate taking a "shortcut"
at too high a speed last weekend.
