Ok, you guys have bailed me out in the past when Ive come here after beating my head against the garage door for a while, so Im counting on you all again .....
90 xj 4.0 automatic a.k.a. The Wifes Beast
Prelude to the tale-
Had it smopgged a week ago and it sat in the driveway till I got back from the DMV (felt like I was there a week too) Tagged the plates and went to take it for a drive, started fine, had good acceleration for about 50 feet, then it started to stumble, the more gas i gave it, the more it wanted to die, which it eventually did halfway back home. pulled it in the driveway and checked the first thing that came to my mind, fuel filter, its fairly new but I pulled it anyway, blew thru it no prob and could still see light thru it, put it back on. I checked the egr valve and solenoid per the vaccume tests and they seem ok, now sitting with it idling, it will be fine for a while, then start sucking air thru the intake like mad and idle will drop to almost nothing, then it will rev to about 2k for a sec and even out, I have the air filter out by the way suspecting it. It seems like a vaccume leak to me, or maybe a bad fuel pump, the longer I looked into it, the harder it got to start too, any ideas ?????? Its driving me nutty .....
