hey richard did i see a post from you saying you got a whole buch a rubber bushings for cars you be willing to get for some one. i need to get a couple for my sawbar  some how the bushings fell out of them on a the road some place... {ehm}

Take the alt. to Advanced or someplace to get tested.

[big94yj]

im thinking it may be a bad fuel injector the way it is running im going to take the alt off and see if i can replace that bolt and nut on it

[ranger11]

if the stud broke off of the alt. then you will need a new one.


I still have some bushings send me a pm with the size and shape. And I will look for some.

lets see... i put on a new altinator changed my distributer cap and rotor got new plug wires cleaned my throttle body and put on a new crankshaft positioning sensor (other one touched the exuast and fried) and its still not running right. it still has a hesitation and  skips a when accelerating and backfires every once in a while while accelerating.

change your plugs and run a bottle of lucas fuel injector cleaner in your tank. cost you $20 and it def wont hurt anything...

[big94yj]

well i changed the plugs a month or less ago and i am going to get some of that as soon as  i have a chance. i put some in like right before  D-town too.

[Rowingfish87]

what kind of plugs?

[big94yj]

idk i ll have to check i forgot exactl what they are but they were sorta cheap... ill go look though later today

if you have the 4.0L you should run champion truck plugs gaped to .035". that is what the distributer-ed 4.0L was designed around. anything else will make it run like crap. it is imperative that you gap your plugs before you put them in. check the firing order of the wires b/c you may have mixed a couple of wires up and that would def cause some problems.

I know when i had a distributer-ed 4.0L in my old cherokee, I put some bosch platinum plugs in there and it ran OK for about 2 weeks. then it started skipping and missin and runnin like crap. changed out to champions and it ran like a champ till the day she died.

Got a part number?  I'll give them a try.
