Computer resolution
Just an update on the delayed start problem with my '95 YJ. I just
got a new computer installed and it solved the problem. Now the check
engine light and fuel pump turn on right away when the key is turned
to run, the jeep seems to have a bit more power, and the idle is a bit
lower and more stable. It took a while but it sure is good to have it
running well again.

Re: Computer resolution
I am curious why you havent performed the nutter bypass on your computer,
rather than replace it? It is a simple bypass of a few wires on the ignition
loop and the distributor, and you gain better fuel mileage and more power....
and the computer is not needed anymore....

I think that bypass works for the carburated early YJs. I'm stuck
with a computer!
It bothers me because on the off road trip where the computer went bad
there was a '75 CJ5 with a lot of problems but nothing that could not
be worked around. First it was hard to start, then it blew a radiator
hose and then would not start unless pushed but it was able to keep
going somehow. Mine was dead with the computer failure and there was
no way to work around it. IMHO, computers should not be in off road
vehicles.

I used to believe this, but the thirteen year old computer I have in my
thirteen year old Jeep has never left me stranded. I have not so fond
memories of replacing an ignition condenser more than once that
stubbornly refused to produce spark, usually in sub-zero weather in a
bad part of town. I think I would rather have been in the woods where
you could have started a fire.

Earle
