My friend brought their 1990 Jeep 4.0 to Midas, who told them about the compression. Not sure if it is thought. It idles fine, just when she gets up to about 35-45 mph and steps on the gas, it acts like it wants to speed up, then immediately the RPM's drop to about 1500. It feels like a spark plug problem.
When I checked the spark plugs, I noticed the one in cylinder 3 was cracked. After I replaced it, it still had that problem. Thing is, I have no compression tester to test it myself. I started up the jeep, and put in neutral and revved it up and it got pretty high with no problems. Only problems around the speed I mentioned. Does it sound like it could be a compression problem?
