20 Most Recent 2007 Jeep Scout Questions & Answers

take off the distributor cap and look at the rotor. with the engine set the way you have it, the rotor should either be pointing to the block or the right front headlight. (In the general direction).
If it is pointing towards the engine turn the crank one more complete turn and it should point towards the light. Make a mark on the outside housing of the distributor exactly where the rotor points. Put the cap back on and the tower for #1 ignition wire should line up with the mark you made. If it is a 4.0 or four cylinder, there is no distributor adjustment (the computer adjusts timing) So, if the rotor is not lined up with the wire tower, you will need to remove the distributor and turn it one or more teeth in the direction you need to go and then repeat the alignment process again.

Sounds like you are on the right track, except that the vacuum advance won't give you the radical symptoms you have. I'd take the carb apart and clean it out. likely the power valve is gummed up and could also be the needle & seat are worn. Make sure you find a good rebuild kit before taking it apart though...the gaskets are likely dried out & will break.
After all this time it's possible that your float maybe sinking. I've seen this happen before. If you have one of those litle generic fuel pumps likely it cant make more than 5psi on it's best day, so I don't think it will blow the needle off the seat.
Yes...change your oil & plugs after youv'e finished and don't drive it with fuel in the oil.

What you have is commonly called death wobble. It can be really scary.
Common cause is usually worn ball joints but it can also be caused by a variety of other things...Improperly torqued wheels. steering box tearing off of the chassis, track bar mount or bushing problems or a combination of slight looseness in all steering components giving overall excessive wheel play. The steering damper (sideways shock on linkage) is often blamed but they generally fail as a result of the wobble and are not the cause. If everything has checked carefully and can be verified as good, sometimes adding some positive alignment caster past factory setting can help.

Hi! It may not be the fuel float. I suspect that you have a faulty carb. Some o-rings may be worn thats why its leaking. You may need a carb kit replacement to correct this and see if it will still leak. Hope this helps and good luck!

It is a known issue.

You will also need to shim the pinion angle to get the driveshaft and pinion within 2 degrees of each other.

First you will need to determine if there is a problem with the electrical system or fuel system. Connect a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail to see if you have pressure when the vehicle dies. It it maintains pressure and the vehicle dies, then check to see if there is a spark issue. Fuel issue could be bad/weak fuel pump, bad relay or restriction in fuel delivery system. No spark could be ignition coil, bad computer, bad electrical connection or relay. To check these systems you need special meters and scanners. Best to take to a repair center.

The most likely reason is a faulty switch or a faulty relay or problem with the Body Control Module computer. https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..
