8mud, the reason I swapped most of the sensors is because there had been an engine fire before the rebuild. Many of the sensors still worked fine, but it had been my intention all along to to put new sensors in a new engine.
If I were just swapping to check things, I would just have a friend with a similar year drive his Jeep over and start swapping out his parts. If one fixed it, bingo, if not, new approach. =)
I just list all the sensor swaps ahead of time so that people don't start suggesting sensors.
But, to get back on topic, so it's been a while since the Jeep ran. I went out and started it up, and it was running a little rough at idle too. In fact, it kind of seemed to have the harmonic. I haven't had a chance to get out, and check the number one cylinder against tdc yet. I did verify that no wires were crossed when I pulled the plugs.
As soon as I can check the distributor, I'll chime back in. My other fear, as I'm pretty sure we double checked the distributor already at the shop, is that maybe the timing chain is off by just a hair.
As for the injectors, the jeep has new rebuilt Ford Mustang injectors and they were pulled and cleaned as one of the first diagnostic steps after the rebuild...did that just after checking fuel pressure.
