    Distributor rotor arm wont budge a tooth

    Lets make this simple....First thing, If you have a Mate that can lend a hand, Put him to turning the motor by hand with all the spark plugs removed to make turning it by hand easier.

    Hmmm, With it running, IF you disconnect the rubber hose and put your finger over the "Tit" On the valve cover...Is it pulling a vacuum?

    YJ bought a HARD Top but it does not fit.

    All this went down a couple of weeks ago, Helped a Bud of a Bud reinstall a Hardtop on a '97 TJ that he had repainted and replaced all the seals and it was on it when he bought it back in '01....

    What does the condition of this spark plug tell me?

    From the looks of #2....I'm guessing that if you're injected, You might have a stuck injector... And #4 is curiously clean, Like it's not getting any fuel at all......

    Backfiring! Could it be related to a recent alternator belt replacement?

    I forgot you said you got down the road a piece...If it was the firing order it would have reared it's ugly head at start up.....Check your fuel filter and flow... Is it carbureted or fuel injection? A "Leaning" Out of the fuel feed could cause this very problem.....
