When i got my 89 yj a couple months ago the seller told me it would need new vacume lines soon. And said his muffler guy told him its not breathing right. It runs great but is a little hard to start and will die if you take off before warming it up for 10 min. There are no inspections in oklahoma here. Thanks

It removes the computers ability to control and adjust the carb. You pretty much run jumper wires from the ICM directly to the distributor. It normally makes you run a little smoother and no need to wait as long for the warm up. It does mess with emissions, but if your state doesn't care why should you.
 
Okay thanks. What do i need to do this? I'm Not very Mechnanically inclined. Will this fix my issue of maybe needing vacume line repairs? Any advice Is really appreciated!!!
 
I'm not 100% on how the vacuum lines effect a bypassed setup. For the bypass you need some wire and ways to cut and connect wires. Its a pretty simple thing to do, should take about 15 minutes.
 

Okay ill check with a Mechnanic I would never be able to figure it out lol
