I have been working on this 87 2.5L MJ for several months now and still can not get it to run right.
It will start and run, but not run correctly. It pops through the TB and the exhaust. I have replaced the plugs, wires, O2 sensor, coolant temp sensor, fuel filter and fuel pump(in tank). Nothing seemed to help. So I replaced the engine because one cylinder was a bit low, not much but it was all I could come up with as a problem. It still runs the same. I swapped out the coil and MAP sensor with one from my 89 XJ and it made no difference. I thought it might be the Cat, so I pulled the exhaust at the cat and no difference.
I tried to change the timing, but the Distributor is not moveable.
When it is running the engine smells super rich and that seems to be the case. It runs till the plugs foul and then it just slowly dies out after about 15 min of running. The truck is not driveable even after the plugs are cleaned, but it does run enough to move around the yard.
The only thing I have not replaced is the computer(s). Is there one or two?
The biggest problem now is that I am running out of money and time and my Uncle is comming to get it because he has paid me for it(all the money went into fixing it). :banghead:
I also can not find a computer. None of the yards around here have any F.I. 2.5l Jeeps.
At this point I do not know what to do, I don't have the money to fix it and I spent all the money he sent me trying so I can not just give him his money back. :banghead:
I am ready to set it on FIRE!! :explosion
Anyone have any ideas???
