2000 TJ 4.0L fuel injectors
Matt, I really doubt you're having ANY fuel injector problems and I even
more strongly doubt they need cleaning. Today's injectors with todays fuels that ALL contain fuel injector cleaners keep them pretty darned clean. They just don't wear out this quickly, 110,000 miles is not a lot of miles at all. Mine have 160K miles on them and I know plenty with over 220K miles on them. Just trying to save you a bit of $$$ and time.

philthy did pass the time by typing:
> u are right about jeep injectors but i'm seeing all kinds of gm injectors > failing Interesting note. There are at least two different types of injector designs out there. The older ones use fairly high current to keep the injector valve open. Others use a higher current pulse to open the injector and a lower current to keep them open. That type uses a much finer coil and is more suceptable to overheating and shorting out. -- DougW |

Not that his has ****-all to do with jeeps or willys, but:

Delphi is shipping water because their business model -- and the big GM teat that it suckles on, didn't adapt to change. GM wasn't under any union obligation to pack their dealer's lots with Escalades at 13MPG while ignoring that there's a shooting war in the oil-rich middle east, they did that all by their lonesome, thinking that they'd make big cars with big profit margins today instead of having a plan for half a decade down the road. Was GM going to maintain their market share forever? No, but they -- and the unions -- clearly thought that they would. > We now face the specter of our government subsidizing both. Not only > are these companies going to be let off the hook for their disastrous > union contracts, but we are actually going to pick up the tab for the > union members as well. Those were contracts that were written when both sides of the table figured that the gravy train would continue to roll. You could, depending on your bias, lay the blame at any number of other parties: GM for underfunding their pension plan by some $31 billion[1], stock buyers for not only encouraging such madness but rewarding the company for doing so, the federal government for failing to prevent companies from underfunding pensions, the medical system for being so efficient at keeping retirees from dying early, other companies for making cars that outsold GM's, and so on. As it is, Delphi isn't on the hook for the whole nut: "As as part of the [1999] spin-off deal, GM agreed to back the pension, life insurance and retiree health benefits of its former workers at Delphi." [2] I recall when Lee Iacocca slyly suggested that it might be in the country's best interest if the federal government just "forgave" that bailout loan that they got. Fortunately it wasn't. > As one who has provided for his own retirement, I find the above > appalling. If union members are to have a publicly financed > retirement aside from SSI, why shouldn't everyone else? Well, just to play the Devil's Advocate, you -- and I -- are going to pay either way. Either we pay for the retirement of past employees out of current company profits -- that means paid for by consumers, or we pay for out of tax revenue, and that means paid for by workers, or GM and Delphi collapse and we pay for it in lost investment. In any case, if the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation does have to take over a plan it caps the benefits at $43,977 a year. For a lot of professionals that's half of what they had planned on having for their service to their employer. Do I want to pay for it out of taxes? Hell, no, but at least there's a cap. Oh, and poor Delphi? Their Board of Directors are getting between $120,000 and $200,000 a year in cash after managing the company into the ground, their new CEO got a $3 million signing bonus and 600 of their executives stand to get a average of 2/3 of a million dollars each if they don't jump ship. [4] It's good work if you can get it, I guess. Who is bleeding the company white?
