Hello and thank you for letting me post here.
I just put a new 2.5l long block in my 89 wrangler and it started up and ran fine. I proceeded to do the break-in process and drove it after that to a friends house. Ran great, when leaving there, it started running very bad after starting it back up and I tried to make it home but it had no power and coughing through the intake. Since then I have replaced these items to try to fix it:
new cap and rotor
new spark plugs
new plug wires
new ignition module and coil.
I don`t know what it could be and the fact that it started up and ran fine to my buddys house 6.5 miles away and then upon restarting it, thats when it all went bad right now. That would lead me to believe its something that just went bad and not something wrong with the internals of the motor. I just bought it from PowerTrain products and I just dont have reason to suspect it is bad. Could it be something like an ECM reset with the disconnecting battery cables and touching them together for 30 seconds and then turning ignition on and head lights on then turning ignition off? Thank you to anyone who may have had this issue or no something about it because I am stumped
