hey everyone...thanks for looking!
i have an 87 xj and im having some issues with it
i bought it from a friend and it had been sittin for some time...over a year
i pumped the grapy fuel out and put in some good premium...about 5 gallons
i ran some rislome in the oil and sea foam in the gas tank...just to help clean out the crap.
i did all new wires, cap, plugs and rotor
new alternator and bat
new idler puller...no more sqeeks
cleaned the tb
at this point the engine ran good...smooth power...no smoke...started up everytime...(although it took between 4-7 cranks)
after a few days i ran through the good gas and the sea foam.
i replaced the fuel filter and added about 5 more gallons.
the first time a started it it took a sec...figured this must being a changed the filter...but as soon as i touched the gas pedal it started to run like poo.
its hard to put it into words but i would cut out imidiatley...followed by an intake backfire. like i said...all i did to it was change the filter!
i have had people tell me it could be the ecu or the crank sensor...either of which can screw with the timing. being there is no adjustment in timing by me i know its not something i did.
any help would be a huge help!
if you live in tualatin or in the area, if you could come by ill pay for your time...im just lost.
im heading to napa now to get the new crank sensor being its only a 20$ part
