1986 2.5TBI AX4 with 4wd I haven't wrenched on my Comanche for a while because I still can't figure out why it randomly dies on me. It will idle until its out of gas but if you start driving it'll randomly die on me, could die before i get out of the driveway or 5 miles down the road and when i cycle the key it will run for another minute or two before shutting off again. I have spark and fuel until the engine stops turning. Had a fancy diag guy come out with an oscilloscope and he also checked all the sensors but that got me no where. Ive also replaced/cleaned all of the grounds and electrical connections that Cruiser recommends but still no improvement. Fuel Pressure is steady 15psi at the TBI. I keep running into dead ends on the electrical system and I want to yank it all out and make it carbureted like god intended. I was thinking about pulling out the AMC 2.5 and throwing in a GM 2.5 so i can get a vacuum advance distributor and an intake manifold for a carb. I wanted to see if anyone has any better ideas or if anyone has done something similar. I am newish to posting on forums so if yall have any links for old threads on this topic please send them my way! Thank yall for all the help so far, can't wait to get this MJ back on the road!

Its me again! I am still having problems. I have replaced: injectors, fuel pressure regulator, CTS, TPS, CPS, rear vac harness, cleaned the TB, new TB to intake gasket, several new fuel filters, valve cover gasket, refreshed grounds twice and have also done #'s 1.3.4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,25 of cruisers Renix tips. All of these have made improvements but still not out of the woods yet. It seems to run fine from a cold start but once it gets to operating temp it will develop a slight miss that progresses into a rough idle then a random stall and flooding which results in a very hard to start condition. Come back the next day and it will start back sometimes after some cranking. Turn it off and it will start right back until it warms up and the cycle continues. Could this be a MAP sensor problem?
