But This thread has been up for a few weeks and u till now nobody chimed in about Hamiltons. I researched here and other jeep forums too. Nothing on any install for a FSJ Hamilton. Just Bill helping other people fix their own catastrophes. I read binder planet till my head exploded and my eyeballs popped out. Awesome Bill go to FI guru. I searched Google. Nothing but problems and what we had to do for Hamilton's to get it to work videos and such. I went to Hamiltons website and just before I click buy it now it says no returns, no exceptions and I couldn't find any warranty. Maybe if I lived closer I would just drop by Hamiltons but I don't.
I found some you tube videos of a customer that posted them before calling me.

Those on here will recognize the issues. The installation manual includes the initial setup procedures that were not performed yet. As he stated in the video, he just installed the night before and fired it up.
The squeal is caused from the throttle blade angle and the IAC not being set correctly.
Also note a vacuum line connected to the front of the throttle body. No where in the manual does it say to connect anything to the front of the throttle body. So where is the MAP sensor supposed to be connected? How can the system properly control the fueling if the sensors are not connected correctly?
As for the base plate video, common sense needs to prevail here.
You can see the plate is a CNC machined 1/2" alum plate. CNC is a computer controlled machining process that is precise down to a .001/thousandth of an inch. Note the plate had been installed and removed and shows nicks and gouges. Not a new machined surface.
You can't simply bend or warp the plate unless it was improperly installed and the TBI bolts were improperly installed so they protruded thru the bottom of the plate and drove them into the manifold, forcing the plate up.
I understand you are not familiar with TBI installation and while these may look like HFI kit issues, they were all resolved and were simply installation errors. 99% of all injection issues are installation errors. Just ask all the DIY guys on here. The system is defaulted to run.
My manual is 30pgs with color pics and my number on every page.
I can only do so much, so my number is there to take care of the rest of the issues.
