^ I'll check that out tomorrow. Big possibility, seeing as the air filter is less than a month old and almost looks like it is in need of replacing. Again, thank you guys for your help with this.. Hopefully I can get my issue resolved. I'll post some pictures of her of tomorrow. Edit: Another thing is that it was driving normally at first, but halfway to my destination is when this all started happening. Issue was present the following day as well, though normalcy was never restored.

Thanks for the quick replies. Worth mentioning the plug wires and plugs are fairly new. But I could see it being a bad misfire. I'll try to get a video of it up tomorrow, to possibly help pinpoint the issue. Also I cleaned the filters in the oil breather cap the other day, and they were fairly clean, only to find that after this issue has started they are drenched in oil and there is some white cruddy stuff on the top of the cap as well.

My '86 2wd 2.5L auto trans MJ has just gone haywire. Had a pretty bad snow storm here in VA a few weeks back and I put my truck through the paces during that.. Now it's catching up with me. Overall loss of power, especially right after it shifts. Strange back firing or popping noise occurs from time to time as well. Sometimes after the pop it will pick up and go for a while, but after I've got to stop and go again it will not want to get up and go. Pretty much a stretch to get it over 25-30mph. Hoping someone will have to some answers to my issue or any sort of insight. I love this truck and have only had it for 6-8 months. I'd hate to see it go, especially right after finding this awesome website!
