Hello all. I have a serious problem with my vacuum lines on my 85 wagoneer with a carbed 2.5. I have tried searching for the past couple of hours and have come up with only a little info that didn't help very much. I was told by someone that the bare minimum would be to keep the PCV(manifold vacuum connection to the valve cover), vacuum advance(ported vacuum to the distributor), manifold vacuum for accesories and tranfer case switch. I don't know much about vacuum lines but do all my own work. I have a diagram of the vacuum lines on the firewall of my jeep but need to know what vacuum line to keep and which ones I can get rid of to make my jeep run properly. This is not a DD but would like to keep my heat and accesories running good. I have select trac four wheel drive that runs off of vacuum. I just put in a used motor out of an 84 wagoneer and some of the vacuum lines do not match up with my 85. Is there a difference between the two? My jeep will start and idle great but as soon as I give it some gas or all gas it wants to fall on it face and die unless I let up on the gas and let it catch up with itself and than it will at least go down the road but there is no power to accelerate. It feels like it really wants to get up and go but something is holding the engine back. There is no backfire or missing when at idle or trying to get up to speed. Is it my distributor? I am at a total loss for what to do besides thinking that the vacuum lines are the problems. Please help with this if possible. Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for replies.
