Re: 1991 Wrangler 2.5L problem
 

Weak coil or bad ignition wires or plugs. The back fire is raw gas
via a misfire pushed out into the exhaust for the next cylinder that
fired to ignite.

Re: 1991 Wrangler 2.5L problem
 

Thanks for the replys. I was told that on the 2.5L engine, that the
distributor didn't have any adjustments. Also with the distributor,
plug wires, and plugs if something in them was wrong would the engine
idle rough? I will get the fuel pressure checked at the fuel rail, but
I think that the fuel pressure might be the problem. I'm not sure but
wouldn't low fuel pressure also cause the same symptoms? See I had
converted my jeep to a chevy 350 motor, it was running great but I
couldn't get the drive shaft to the correct angle for the type of
transmission I had. Also I wanted to be able to drive my jeep everyday,
and with gas prices the way they are now, I decided to put the stock
engine back in. So if anyone know anybody that wants a complet jeep to
chevy engine conversion kit as well as a complete 350 with transmission
and transfer case I have it. Now back to the problem, How can I find
out if my distributor is turned wrong? and I will change the plug wires
and plugs, and I will look into changing the coil as well, but if
anyone knows anything else to try please let me know.

Thanks
