aahh!! I don't know what to do
I want to put an in-line six 4.0 liter engine in my Jeep. It's a 1986 Jeep Cherokee Laredo with a dying 2.8 liter in it. I'm pretty sure that I will have to change the bell housing at least. My Jeep has a 5 speed manual tranny that I'd like to keep if possible.
Or maybe you can tell me whats wrong with my engine now.. when I drive it it runs rough and stalls. Lately I've been able to avoid the stalling by taking it out of gear and keeping the rev's up around 2000 rpm, it straightens out after a while. When it does stall, it refuses to start again until I play with the distributor. The cap, the point and the ignition control module all seem to be fine so I am at a loss. After taking apart the distributor and finding nothing, I put it back together and now the idling speed has gone from 1000rpm to 2000 rpm (sigh) I can get it running again but it dies after a couple days. I know it's not the fuel pump because I can smell gas when I try to start it after it stalls and refuses to go. I'm getting frustrated.
Thanks
