Looking at buying an XJ. Its a red 93 4.0 auto 128K. Its the plain model with rollup windows, black grill, steel wheels with black center caps.. etc
Is this a 4.0 HO or non HO? also what is the typical gear ratio?
The jeep is very clean inside and has low mileage for the year. I think I can pick it up sub 1000 dollar range.
Here is the problem:
When the jeep starts it immediately begins to smoke.... gray smoke, not blue oil smoke. The exhuast reaks of gas fumes like its running supper rich. The engine has a miss or stumble to it. Its more than just a bad plug... its just fogging gray fuel smoke. When you pop the hood you can smell gas....
Previous owner was driving until it started missing/stumbing and parked it about 2 months ago.
Is this a common problem? Injectors? Regulator? I have some mechanical experience however, I have not ever messed with a 4.0. Please give me your thoughts.
