Hi Everyone, I'm hoping all of your extensive experience will get me out of this one... I have a 1989 Jeep Wrangler with a 2.5 liter engine. It had been running like a Lexus until the last few weeks. Now, when I run it for 45 minutes or so (sometimes more, sometimes less), it loses power...

I'm finally about to start restoring my 89 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. It's going to be a daily driver, and stay pretty much stock except for a few toys (2" lift, tire rack, etc.) My question is about the changes that happened to the 4.0 in 1991 resulting in about 14 more HP. I read that the main...
