Hope this is correct place to post.
I'm heading out for some remote camping this weekend in the Guadelupe Mtns with buds
In prepping the XJ for the road trip I decided to stop the Valve cover seeping oit.
Leaving this afternoon (I hope) so I replaced the gasket just now. I had put some degreaser on last night and hosed right off. I covered the carb and distributor.
The replacement seemed to go fine. Please note I have an 87 2.5 L 4 cyl with carb.
Now when I try and start it tries / kinda idles VERY VERY rough and then cuts out. Vapor gas is coming out of the carb... Hopefully just flooded??? but I waited like 15 min and tried again same result.
I have looked and checked the vacume hoses and such... not sure what changing the Valve cover gasket could have done. Oh yea I was carefule around open valves and covered carefully with new shop rags while cleaning the cover.
I would REALLY APPRECIATE any quick ideas on what to check.
Thanks in Advance,
Roger
