How is the ignition side of things? Such as the cap, rotor, plugs and wires?

 

i was going to do an overhaul on the ignition tomorrow. Ill let you know what happens, just seeing if I'm missing something else

 

Personally I think that is a very good idea.
Whether or not it fixes your problem remains to be seen.
From your description of the problem it is a reasonable course of action to take IMO.

 

But as far as i know at the moment without having to go into the jeep, ignition seem good. but like i said I'm gonna do it all tomorrow anyways

 

If after the ignition system is found to be in good shape, you might try unplugging the upstream o2 sensor and drive it. If that makes the problem disappear, then just change it out for a new one. It worked on mine with a very similar set of symptoms and I never had a check engine light come on indicating a problem with the sensor.......until I ran it unplugged, which will set off the light

 

Alright, so last night i changed plugs, wires, distributor cap, distributor rotor. problem still persisted. today i changed the fuel pump and man the fuel strainers were horrible black and brown. changed those too. As of right now, its running perfect. haven't felt a sputtering yet. Not keeping my hopes up as most of the time I'm let down. If problem comes back, i will change the upstream O2 sensor next. I hate when threads end with no solution so i will post again at the end of the day tomorrow. thanks for the advice guys

 

problem disappeared for awhile but came back. going to try and unplug the O2 sensor see if that does anything.

 

Lol another thread that ends with no solution....
