Hey there everyone, I wanted to post this as a discussion I have a solution to my problem but I'm not sure how to fix it for the long term this is definitely a bandaid to the problem.
I'm working on my 92 with the inline 6, ax15 transmission (recently swapped in from Powertrain around 5k miles)
So basically what happened is my fuel pump had completely lost power to it. I would be driving around and the jeep would act like it wanted to shut down. A very large drop in RPMs almost 1k sometimes. Id assume the fuel pump was the problem but it bench tests beautifully a ridcously amount of fuel would shoot out testing it. Well then i did some research and dicided the hesitation was the distrubtor after some reasearch (the hesitation did go away now that im thinking of everything). I could make the jeep turn on if i had a power source to the pump easily, but of course remove the power and it shuts off while the plugs were all connected. Bypassing the plugs and sticking some alligator clips on the prongs and shaving some leads into the opposite ends, I go and try to turn it on and it fires up and runs. Beautifully, better than it has in awhile.
I ended up replacing the TPS and IAC and cleaning the throttle body up as well since I was having some weird readings with my multimeter as I was just going over sensors and checking them all, not sure what it could be and just bumped into this, I didn't think it could be it but for good measure I did it anyway for a good tune up.
My new parts list...I kinda just tossed money at her so don't laugh I had a lot of fun and a lot of frustration but I think it was worth it.
NEW:
TPS
IAC
CPS
Fuel filter
Distributor
Spark plugs
Not a big list but I ended up buying a OBD1 reader which is telling me something is up with my IAC still. But that's a different topic.
Longest story concluded, is there a way to get new factory oem plugs coming from the harness or another solution? Attached is my crummy solution.
Thanks for reading my long winded story, Joe
