91 xj 4.0l HO MPI
Well the jeep is giving me fits at this point.
About a week ago it was staring to loose power when driving, then it started having problems staying lit at idle. now it runs very ruff, almost no power when it's warm.
I was suspecting a fuel problem. cheched the vacuum, and pressure regulator, looks good. Replaced the fuel filter, no change. looked at the fuel pump, the screen looks fine as in no clogs. The pump seems to be running ok, but i don't have the tools for a pressue check. it sounds like its working the way it allways has.
tore the throttle body apart and cleaned it, ckecked all the electronics, they seem to be working or within spec of the jeep service manual, and sugestions here.
did a compression check
1 94 psi
2 123 psi
3 123 psi
4 100 psi
5 100 psi
6 123 psi
alt here is about 5200'
do these numbers look normal? i know the 1 is a lot low and 4,5 are low
the jeep is not blowing smoke out the back when running. and the problem gets worse when it is running at normal temp. Also this jeep has allways had problems with overheating. it now has a 2 core radiator the seemed to help for a while.
