86 wrangler six cylinder Electronic ignition Seems the timing advance stopped working. Starts and runs fine, step on it and engine bogs, similar to no Vacumn on old vacumn advance cars.

Has always run great. Just started doing this.

Check and clean your IAC valve, idle air control valve...use trottle body cleaner....try not to turn the pintle while cleaning. It will reset itself if you do, but will take a bit longer....cheers

    Bogging can also be caused by a clogged catalytic converter.....but I think IAC.

IAC was a good guess...

ALSO sounds more like a throttle position sensor...

(TPS is my GUESS... but it is your MONEY and
this EASTER-EGG hunting style trouble shooting
can typically cause MORE TROUBLES than fixing).

(( but still preferred over taking it to a "DEALER" )).

My BEST suggestion... Get your codes read...
and AVOID the pitfall of needlessly replacing
those rather expensive OXYGEN SENSORS
($$$$)...

Doesn't cost you a thing to bring those trouble
(DTC) codes back here and give us another
chance... (I'm just saying).

Look at the costs at ROCKAUTO... (great catalog)

SOURCE: How do I troubleshoot problems for a hemi car engine?

Misfiring is often due to ignition system components. "Decarbonizing" is Chrysler's version of using "SeaFoam" in your engine. In fact, the product is basically the same, only more expensive. It has nothing to do with misfiring unless your spark plugs are coked up.

A consistent misfire in your engine should be diagnosed by checking fuel and ignition system components and doing a compression check on the engine cylinders. If the cylinder compression numbers aren't fairly even, or are lower than they should be, that would explain the misfire.

I'd bet you either have fouled injectors or faulty wiring.

It seems to be more and more common since the induction of OBD systems that "technicians" rely entirely on the OBD system and throw parts at a problem, without applying proper diagnostics to actually figure out what's causing the issue. You seem to have fallen victim to this exercise in cash-tossing.

If you are saying it starts and then dies, have you checked fuel pressure again ? Could be the fuel pump relay.

SOURCE: 1962 Ford Falcon wont run unless choke is partially closed

check the float level setting
it presents as a partially blocked main jet circuit
there could be corrosion in the circuit that the cleaning agent has not removed
it may be necessary to remove the lead blocks for the drillings to physically remove the blockage
if you look at the drillings and passage ways of the carby you will notice what appears to be plugs inserted where it has been necessary to use a drill to make a circuit for the fuel and air flow
these small plugs are lead pellets similar to shot in a shot gun cartridge that are inserted into the hole and pressed to expand and act as a plug
consider taking the carby to an accredited carby overhaul specialist shop where they can remove/ replace these plugs and test the carby on a machine for correct adjustment and settings

97 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L spratically won't start

Since you now mention the check engine light, when you go to buy a manual and meter, have the codes scanned...most of the larger parts stores do that free. There is a list of codes in the manual. That will point you in the right direction. Ignore any O2 sensor codes to start with though as often any other malfunction can change mixture and set that code. Always deal with that code last.

Timing on a 1990 Wrangler with a 4.2 liter

4.2L 6-Cylinder

1. Set parking brake. Shift automatic transmission to Park or manual transmission to Neutral. With A/C off, start engine and attain normal operating temperature.

2. With ignition OFF, connect an ignition timing light and a calibrated, expanded-scale tachometer.

3. Disconnect 4 " and 10 " Hg (CEC System) vacuum switch assembly wire connector (located at top of valve cover). Disconnect and plug distributor vacuum advance hose.

4. Start engine, increase engine speed to 1600 RPM and check ignition timing. Adjust timing to specification listed on Emission Control Information label (if necessary). Tighten distributor hold-down clamp and recheck ignition timing.

5. Turn engine off and remove timing light and tachometer. Connect No. 1 spark plug lead, if disconnected. Unplug and connect distributor vacuum advance hose. Connect vacuum switch assembly wire connector.

NOTE: If timing light has an adjustable advance control feature, turn control to OFF position.

Timing is set per the emissions tag under hood.
