Well Jeep people, My 87 YJ 4cyl. is hitting me again!!!! I can drive it
once per day and as long as I leave it running it is fine but, as soon as
i get to where I'm going and shut it off, restarting it isn't bad but it
doesn't idle as good and it dosen't have the same power it had. Lots of
coughing and spitting, a backfire here and there like it's having trouble
getting a constant flow of fuel. Help me!!!!

Start with plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor. If this doesn't fix it then
you are looking at the fuel pump or filter. This is a throttle body type of
fuel injection, isn't it?

87YJ is carbuerated, not FI.

I thought the four-banger was injected. I could be wrong. My 87 YJ has a 258
(as did my 73 Cherokee and 78 CJ)
