Hello folks,
Recently purchased a 1998 xj. The motor (according to PO) is a 91 block bored 30 over and stroked. Runs dependably, but seems to lack a little power for what it is. Accelaration doesnt seem quite as smooth as it should be. Also, sometimes on startup, it will fire right up....other times, it take 4 or 5 revolutions and then "slowly" catches. It looks to me like everything is still stock under the hood (aside from that green motor block, lol.) My questions are:
1. Should i take this somewhere and get some adjustments made to the computer?
2. Can the stock computer be adjusted enough to handle the stroker and its requirements?
3. What would you recommend as a good running setup/program to ensure a long life from this motor with dependability and good performance?
4. Am i having air/fuel mixture problems with a stock computer?
I am very new to the xj...if one of my questions is a no brainer...flame me real good and teach me a lesson .
thanks in advance!
