Here's how I spend my evenings in my apartment. With my 4.0L intake manifold.



I'm going to wipe it down and clean out the inside. While I was pulling vacuum lines I noticed the elbow to the FPR was dry rotted and cracking so I went to Autozone and bought this box of elbows for $4.99 but I only needed one.



And the new $5 elbow.



I should get my manifold tomorrow per FedEx.

Well I was going to just clean the mating surface on the intake and throw it back on but I started looking more closely and it was full of sludge and crap from 1993. I don't believe I've ever cleaned it in the last 11 years I've owned it (on the inside). I was scrapping chunks out with a smallscrewdriver. It was really gunky near the injector tips so I ended up taking every thing apart on the intake. I cleaned the manifold, throttle body, fuel rail, and injectors. These pics suck but oh well.

Well I finally picked up my jeep up after work today. Apparently it was ready Monday but they did not type my phone number in correctly so they left a message to someone else. I finally called today and found out what was going on.

I was pleased with the work. They ran it the way I asked and it's actually quieter now which I don't mind. The price wasn't too bad either. Here's a break down of cost for my new exhaust.

Manifold = $73.81
Magnaflow Catalytic Converter = $72.26
Exhaust shop who put it all in = $227.11

Total = $373.18

Not too bad. Now for pics.

Here's the engine back together.













Finally, as she sits today.
