    Running very weak

    I figured out my problem, my passenger side motor mounts have sheared off and the motor mount was pinching the camshaft sensor wire and grounding it out. So at least I know the problem now just have to get those bolts out. Thanks for all the help with trouble shooting.

    I figured out my problem, my passenger side motor mounts have sherred off and the motor mount was pinching the camshaft sensor wire and grounding it out. So at least I know the problem now just have to get those bolts out. Do still have a question about fuel pressure. I run steady at 48 psi...

    Running very weak

    UPDATE So fuel pressure with key on run was 48 psi then started to drop. Once engine started was at 48 psi and stayed constant. Is that a good pressure for the 97 XJ? Also kept trying to get it to stall and throw a code sucedded after a couple times and got code p1899 Park/Neutral switch...

    Running very weak

    Didn't have a meter available to test the TPS, but NAPA did have one so I switched it out and no change in how it runs. I'm going to buy a fuel pressure gauge this tomorrow and test the fuel pressure. UPDATE a new symptom, I ran it again and with slow gas pressure it will run ok. Press on gas...

    Running very weak

    Thank you for the information on how to test the TPS, I don't have an analog meter only digital one at work. I will try to find one to buy tomorrow and test it out. The jeep ran ok to work today as long as I was super easy on the gas pedal. But on the way home it stalled out several times...

    Running very weak

    Any thoughts, I'm trying to narrow it down. Is there any easy steps to determine if it could be trans or transfer case or torque converter. If its my distributor would it be able to start as well as it does?

    starts good/runs horrible/trouble accelerating

    Follow up, believe it or not it was the O2 sensor. I can't believe how crazy it made it run. I unplugged the sensor and the jeep started running so much better. Bought a new sensor installed and CE light is gone and jeep is running great. Blows my mind how bad it ran cuz of that sensor it...
