I've got an 87' Chief, automatic, approximately 165k miles or so on it. I just did a partial tune-up w/new plugs/wires and cleaned the dist. Haven't done the oil change yet but will do that here shortly. Also ran some seafoam through the TB and in the gas tank. Has plenty of oil in it too...
Here's the issue... when I go to start up the Jeep in the morn, it cranks over, idles, and if I hit the gas it will either die or try to die on me. Only when I let it warm up for about 5+ minutes can I then hit the gas and drive it normal. Even when I start it up, and put it in reverse it will die on me w/out letting it warm up. I'm really confused at what the issue is or where to start. It's also got a new battery because mine wasn't holding a charge.
I was having these issues long before I did the partial tune-up and even when the weather was a lot nicer.
Any ideas on where I should start checking?
