I've got a 97 4.0 175k miles aw4 trans and like the title says as it's acting wild. If i let it warm up for 5-10 minutes it runs amazing but if I try and drive it cold, it feels like the whole drivetrain is about to come loose. This started after my last major tune up, I changed the timing chain, but it's dead on and running great once it warms up. I'm running a summit tune up kit and autolite platinum plugs, just replaced the upstream o2 sensor,new injectors cps is less than 3 months old, all new exhaust, no vacuum leaks to be found, all gauges work, alternators charging at 14.3 and battery is holding at 12.8. The only thing i've found wrong is some slack in the distributor. I should also note that when this problem first started I had swapped from the summit wires to a new set of napa premiums and managed to fry my coil on the way to work. After putting the summit 8mm wires back in it It ran great for a couple of days until it got cold again now it's almost undriveable unless i leave it idling for 15 minutes. I've got a new distributor, accel cap and rotor, and some new taylor thundervolts in the mail and a new set of copper plugs I'm about to throw in it. Aside from that i'm completely lost. Sorry for the long post just trying to lay out all the details I can.
