it locks the hood and i believe its supposed to kill the ignition which it only does when it feels like it

anyone know how this works and/or ware i could find the under hood part for it ?

my problem was an unported vacuum line was tee'd into a ported line .. that also runs my vac advance .. capped that port and it passed emissions just fine .

think i found my problem .. wont know for sure till Monday!

emission testing in tn. yes the evap canister that stores hydro carbons and meters them back into the carb !

wont pass Marta exstreemly high HC. question is will my 88 wrangler be able to pass marts with ought the purge canister ?

so far .. my jeep has not cut off sense adding this ground wire from the trigger to the block .. but it was random before so I'm reserving judgement !

well the problem is still not completely resolved .. it shut down again while driving .. next I'm installing a dedicated ground from the trigger to the block .. and cross my fingers !

on my 88 the 're is a vacuum switch on the firewall near the battery vacuum comes from the front axial vac motor when in 4wd .

i found my answer .. needs to be 7 volts if anyone is interested.

any idea how much resistance? engine starts with ought this circuit engaged so stepping it down shouldn't be a big deal !

I am 66 and a very competent auto mechanic.. my 88 wrangler started shutting off randomly while driving .. I tested and tried everything I could think of found nothing wrong . finally fed up .. I ran a dedicated run circuit to a toggle switch under the dash to a fuse and to my coil . no more...
