Slight Miss or hesitation
My '89 4.2 6 cycl. Wrangler has developed a slight miss or hesitation when
the vehicle is in drive sitting still, brakes applied say waiting for the
light to change or stopped for some other reason, but even stranger yet,
only when the headlights are on, any other time everything is smooth. Has me
totally puzzled. Any help would be appreciated. RPM's are about 600-650.

This could be Mike Romain's infamous ground strap between the
engine and firewall.

Re: Slight Miss or hesitation
I don't know, exactly, I think I've heard head to firewall, every
manufacturer seems to hide them in different places, Fords are under the
engine mount, or from their alternator to frame. Look for a braided
strap, it's braided to last a little longer before it eventually wiggles
in two, look like:
