Hi,
I have an 87 Jeep Wagoneer with the 4.0. It seems to be running very
very rich at the moment amd I have no clue why either. It's actually
running so rich that I am getting about 4 miles to the gallon. Now, you
all need to understand that this is an offroad beater, so it's been
ridden hard, and has a few vacuum lines missing, etc... I'm not sure if
this is the problem though... Any ideas?

 

Start with trying to burn the gas you're giving it, by replacing
the spark plugs, ignition wires, cap and rotor.

Thanks for the advice. I've already tried all that though. =-( It gets
weirder though... The Jeep stumbles and misses below 2,500 RPM, then
i'll rev it and it will miss and stumble, but as soon as it hits 2,500
and thereafter, it runs beautiful, has all its power, and seems normal.
I just don't get it?

Look for a leaking needle-and-seat... raw gas is
probably dumping into the carb. You can test
this by clamping the fuel line closed and noticing
an improved idle... clamp the rubber portion!
