    Sudden sooty plugs

    I've been looking up some diagrams of the vacuum system and, I didn't realize how extensive it is. Definitely not the brake booster, the pedal is fine. Using a cap to isolate the system is a great idea, thanks. I'll follow up on Monday.

    Sudden sooty plugs

    I haven't run a compression test, as it runs great over 2,000 rpm But, the vacuum angle is probable. The front vacuum connection has a deteriorated 90 degree rubber connector. There's 4 vacuum connectors on the manifold. Can anyone tell me what they connect to,? I know the third one is for the...

    See post #9 Tested the TPS and it's within range Leak tested the TB and it's leaking badly around the shaft. Removed, disassembled, ultrasonic cleaned, going to get new O rings and reassemble and reinstall

    Sudden sooty plugs

    Monday update Since it was idling poorly, but felt much better over 2,000 rpm, I pulled the AIC and cleaned that. Idle issues decreased by 50%, but still remain Test drive showed improvement in throttle response, but still troubled. Cleaned the AIC and it's passage again, no real change.

Left the battery cable off overnight Started the jeep, even rougher idle/off idle than before Took it on the test loop up the hill, runs decent from 2,000 rpm and crap below that. It died...

    Sudden sooty plugs

    The problem is, it wasn't showing any codes So, off to YouTube, found a similar condition in a video that was caused by O2 sensors. So, ordered NTK O2 sensors, installed, fresh plugs, it runs better but idle,/off idle is still very rough, and the CEL finally came on. Tested, O2 sensor 2 is the...
