Runs terrible when put in Drive but is ok in neutral or reverse also gauges act up before it goes into its fits of not running right
SOURCE: 94 Jeep Wrangler intermittently stalls when put in reverse, drive
Take the air inlet hose off where it enters the throttle body and take a look at the throttle plates. It is likely that they’re dirty and have a build-up of carbon deposits. That is the most common cause for stalling that we see in the shop for your vehicle. Sometimes all it takes is a good cleaning to cure the stalling problem. There is an idle speed setting on your Jeep, but to check and/or perform this service step requires the use of a computer scan tool for your vehicle. If the cleaning doesn’t help ask a repair facility to check and reset, if needed, the minimum idle speed on your Jeep.
Thnx.

Neutral safety switch just slam the shifter into park then try it again or start in Neutral, or replace it.
SOURCE: I put my jeep in reverse and it stalls. When i put it in drive it
check your plug wires and it wouldnt urt to check the distibutor car and rotor
SOURCE: 93 jeep grand cherokee. Starts and idles ok.
Being injected, the control system varies fuel quantity and does not directly regulate air flow. Therefore, having black soot on plugs tells you that there is too much fuel going into the engine. The O2 sensor tends to react to, more than control that. Missing can be the result of plug fouling. Backfire may be the result of a too rich fuel mix permitting unburned fuel to enter the hot exhaust where it re-ignites.
Where I would look first in your case is to the manifold air temp sending unit and the coolant temp sender as well. If either or both are out of range the computer may "think" it is running a cold engine and therefore adding additional fuel for cold start up,and not switching to normal run mode when the engine reaches operating temp. Once the plugs foul the engine will continue to run poorly regardless of other conditions. You can test each component individually using either chilton or haynes manual as a guide. You will need a decent digital multi-meter to do the tests.
You can also have a code test done at most major parts stores, but often if sensors are not bad enough to set a code but together are causing a problem, you may not see anything except the O2 sensor.
There are other possible causes such as worn out injectors, but most often that won't happen in all cylinders at the same time. Do testing first, correct whatever you find and then make sure plugs are clean. If after running, the O2 sensor continues to register a fault, then replace it.
Good luck...any further questions are welcome and don't forget to rate answers!!!
