1991 Jeep Commanche Pioneer - 4.0L Rennix - 2wd - Long Bed - Automatic
Alrighty Folks,
--I have been so lucky to acquire this Jeep from a very good friend of mine right before they passed away. He and I had a few plans for the Truck. But him being the Jeep finatic of us both leaves me in a pickle for what parts to buy, what parts to upgrade, where to buy said parts from etc.
--The Engine deifinately needs a makeover. A little over 200k on the clock. First time i crank it when its cold, it will fire up, sometimes a small skip, but not common. After running for 60 seconds or so the engine will start surging. If i unhook the IAC it will stop surging but won't run right. If i leave it alone and try to keep it running with the accelerator itll run about 5 mins and shut off. Not completely sure...
--------I know there was a fire under the hood a few years back that burnt up the Air Intake Piping to the Throttle Body. This is one of the Engines that has a flange fit over a rubber foot extended from the Air Intake Hose. Nothing else looks like it got crispy but hard to say.
--My questions being:
1. WHAT replacement parts should i buy for this and WHERE should i buy them from?
2. WHAT Test would you recommend I do to narrow down the problems?
3. I also have another 4.0 High Output that need rebuilding. WOULD it be better to rebuild it and put it in or keep the Rennix?
