Hey guys, So I've been having some problems with my jeep lately. About a week back when I was driving you along you could here the jeep backfiring quietly while giving it a little bit of gas, this gradually got worse. I ended up pulling the front cover off to check the timing and it was still aligned properly. I put it all back together and did a once over on the motor, I noticed that the bolt that holds the distributor was loose to I tightened that down. I fired up the jeep and it ran great, i backed it out of the shed and went for a spin. The only problem now is there is NO power, it just bogs down and will backfire. The only way you can get going any were is by lots of skinny pedal. The jeep is a 88 with the 4L and AW4. It has new Cap, Rotor and Plugs as of late November. I have a Wire set and O2 sensor on order to see if that makes any difference. I'm thinking its running rich (puffing black smoke when you rev it up)..... Any Thoughts?
