  1. 1986 Jeep Comanche • 2.5L TBI • 5-Speed • 4x4 • Big Ton • AMC 20 Rear Axle • Long Bed My Comanche must have been made on a Friday, because there's two different VINs present. This truck has been flying under the radar since it landed on the shores of Kansas way back in 86. When it was due for insurance renewal I noticed inconsistencies across the board. After a full month of rigamarole, a patient Highway Patrolman got this truck on the straight-and-narrow with the state of Kansas. Back in the day this truck was driven all around checking oil wells on rough limestone country roads. 2nd owner used it like a truck, but had it garaged for the 20 years he had it. Under its current owner she remains garaged, and is slowly being taken to its next level. I personally go with the dash VIN, but Kansas has the engine bay VIN as their favorite When looking closely, another VIN plate is riveted underneath A full month of leg work, and all I got was this sticker: The previous owner got the seat reupholstered Redlinegoods.com made this custom shift boot. It looks great, but their stock Comanche sewing template is too long. In the future I may reorder this boot with 2 or 3 inches of height removed. In the shop for a much needed transmission overhaul A full-size spare snugs right in to replace the old doughnut 157,500 miles on this 2.5L
  2. I have an '86 Comanche 2.5L with Throttle Body Injection and a AX4, 4-speed manual. The engine is not the original Comanche engine, but one from a YJ Wrangler from what I would assume is similar in year and function. Anyway, I was driving it the day before last to work and it was doing fine until it warmed up. All of a sudden, it just acted like it wasn't getting gas when I pressed the accelerator. It idled back down and was running rough, but as soon as I tried to give it gas, it would spit/sputter and bog down. It shut off on its own, so I gave it a few seconds and then I started it back up and the problem went away, for a little while anyway. I got about 2 miles further down the road and then the same thing. That time, I cut the engine off and restarted it about 10 seconds later. I made it all the way to work from then on without hesitation. On the way home from work, the same thing happened 3 more times. Anyone have any ideas on what this could be caused by? It has new spark plugs, a clean air filter, fuel injector cleaner and Iso-heet (water remover) in the gas. Edit... I took it for a test drive today with my dad to see what he thinks, and it did it about 4 times just going a couple miles down the street. We both feel as though it something fuel related or sensors starving it of gas. I have noticed a pattern, however. When it begins these spells of bogging down, I will turn of the engine and start it again while I'm coasting (did that all 4 times during today's drive). Once it's been restarted, it runs and drives perfectly fine for a little while until the issue arises again. It's the damndest thing because I don't have a clue how to begin sourcing the problem... I imagine just strictly looking at the fuel system, there are really only four main components: Fuel pump, fuel filter, pressure regulator and TB injector. The FP seems to prime fine and I can hear it running when idled and what not, though I haven't tested it for the 14-15 psi pressure that's needed. The fuel filter looks to have been recently replaced by the previous owner as it appears new from the outside. The TB injector seems to be spraying good and in a conical fashion. I haven't put a vacuum meter on the regulator, but that's next. Also, it's been suggested on CherokeeForum that it could be my TPS. I will be checking that with my digital multimeter. The O2 sensor appears to have been replaced by the PO. So, as far as sensors go, I don't know what else could alter the A/F ratio. I guess the most confusing part of it all is that when I cut it off and restart the engine, it runs fine for a little while. It's very random when the symptom occurs. Anyway, sorry for the long post, but I really need to figure it out soon because I'm about to stop driving my XJ to swap in a stroker. Any help or advice on this MJ issue would be greatly appreciated. Forgot to mention, the PO removed the cat and just ran a pipe to the muffler, so a clogged cat can't be an issue. Sorry if speaking of this is against forum rules, I am simply mentioning it to eliminate that as a potential issue...
