You are having spark issues most likely. Either magnetic pickup or the ignition module. When it it does it again, check for spark.

Well I went out until the battery died.... I swapped in another module to rule it out and still had the same issues. so tomorrow I will have to finnish my GM module mod then check for spark at the cap, coil, plugs. Just now I am beyond my capacity, why can't this be like the Matrix and I can upload the program?? :geek: :idea: Thanks for the help guys I will keep pluging away.


BTW: it has the TFI upgrade.

If you have a spare plug, pull a plug wire, put the spare plug in it, ground the threads on the intake, and have somebody turn the engine over. I would do this before changing anything else.

Well I have no clue as to what goes on the mind of my Jeep. Well I took the battery out put it on a charger then this morning I went to lok over the jeep, I pullet the cap (nothing), Pulled a plug (had oil on it) and checked the boots. Well I put the battery in and one crank it was running :shock: . So now I just have it running ( I put some stop leak in it). Nothing weird so far. Thanks for the advice on this issue and sorry for the Hijack :) .

I figured this would make a good catch all thread!

Just wanted to let everyone know that the Jeep is running fantastic. The thing that made the biggest difference? Raising the float level between 1/32 and 1/16. I had them set at the factory recommended level until I found a couple year old tech thread on the main IFSJA site.
