Help I just put a new engine in my 90 xj and it run very well. Except going up hill when I step down on the gas then it sputters and backfires through the tail pipe. The engine was a long block all the sensors have been replaced. The throttle body has been Professionaly cleaned off the engine. Tps has been set to 13 % set off the trans side input is 4.72volts output is 4.15 Volts.It has an auto trans and the cable has been set up. also I replaced the injectors with Ford Racing 50 19 lb injectors. amy ideas?

In your case, you can miss out the removal of the valve cover step. All you need to do is slightly adjust the distributor to the position that I've described.
