Hey All:
I've been working on my MJ - 88, 2.5, 2WD - just bought it.
It starts, but sometimes idles rough and needs alot of help to stay running - other times it's fine.
Also, once the engine warms up it (exhaust) starts smoking like CRAZY - thick white smoke that reeks and stings the eyes. It'll fill up my big garage in no time - so thick you can't even see.
I'm thinking head gasket.
I know I need to dig into more, but thought some of the experts here might be able to steering in the right direction on things to check first.
Thanks,
Chris
