ah bugger. :(
Well, I'm on the way home today. Come to a stop at the stoplight
and sputter..sputter..sputter...die. Does the same thing every time
I come to a stop all the way home. Got it home and the idle cleared
up a bit. No CheckEngine light but the diagnostics show an 11
(camshaft or crankshaft sensor outside window) So I cleaned the
connectors.
Hope it's just a dirty connector. But who knows, time to throw another
90$ at the ZJ. On the bright side I've done both of these before
so it's not difficult, just annoying. Wish the diagnostics would say
which one is having problems. Although since it runs well at a higher
RPM I'm thinking the camshaft sensor.

Re: ah bugger. :(
Followup.. duh. :)
Test drive proved cleaning wasn't going to do the job.
Called Napa and they had my part for $55 so off I go.
This job is still the PAIN IN THE *** I remembered it
to be. But at least this time I had the extensions
and remembered how to perform the human pretzel routine.
It's actually easier if you lay on your back and put your
right side up against the front tire. Which is fun in
the garage because that means my legs are going straight
up the wall. It's good for the back though.
Think I know what caused this. The heat shield that
shelters the transmission cable had a wear spot where it
was rubbing/crushing the wire against the back of the
sensor. I'm betting the failure was mechanical. Rerouted
the wire and put some ties to keep the shift cable safely
away.
The test drive had a few hiccups. I'm guessing the
computer is relearning. Didn't zero it. And as a plus
the grocery store I drove to had a sale on sodapop.
mmmmm.. diet barks rootbeer! No caffeine, no calories
and surprisingly tastes just like the regular barks does.
