    Rev limiter shutdown

    A rev limiter will do just that, cut off the engine at the set RPM. Ive never had a limiter literally shut down the engine to where it had to be restarted.

    Is there anything wrong with this fuel injector?

    Say what one will but this is why I like carbed, non computer controlled engines. A hammer and some duct tape and your good to go. 🤪

    Weatherstripping

    My 91 had no gate weather strip. It was part of the soft top bar that the rear window slid into and then was slid into the corner tub pieces.

    Single Point Injection Wiring

    I Had the hots for a Discovery but never jumped on the chance to try one out. I gotta admit I dig the old school Land rovers. Not even sure if Range and Land are of the same making. Im a fan of no frills utility which is one big reason I hated my jeep TJ compared to my old CJ's and YJ's.

    Single Point Injection Wiring

    So now that you have a jeep and all its issues you are dealing with, is it really true Rovers are poorly made? Couldn't resist ;)

    Oil pressur

    No cause when you shut ot off much of the oil drains out anyhow. Id start with a bad part or gauge/ground issue.

    WTB: Factory YJ wheels

    Bummer, I gave 4 of those away a while back. Collins bros jeep has them likely but shipping might kill you depending on your location.

    4.0 exhaust header replacement

    I also used a Dorman on my 95/4.0 and one on a V6 mustang. Like Macho I never racked up much in miles on either but they fit good and they were quiet again :) This was also about 10 years ago so who knows how the quality is these days.

    Rough idle, stalls and dies after a few miles

    How did it run before you changed out those 7 things?

    Should I get a hard top or a soft top?

    Hard top, the bad. Must be a planned removal and storage place. Ventilation/noise sucks with the door off or door window rolled down IMO. Hard top the good. Rig can be locked up, quieter, more weather proof. Soft top bad. Tears in heavy brush or tight trail work. Noisy as all hell. So so...

    How do you unplug the idiot light panel on dashboard?

    On my 91 the little bulbs burned out or were corroded at the base. Might try cleaning or replacing the bulbs before swapping the entire thing out.

    89 YJ sputtering through intake and no power after new motor (2.5, manual transmission)

    You need to talk with the engine shop or seller and tell them what you've found. They might deny warranty if you screw with it to much. Hate to say it but you may also have a damaged camshaft as well. I feel for you man. Last vehicle Id own if I was financially limited is a jeep. Its frustrating...

    95 YJ grinding noise (2WD to 4HI while moving)

    2wd to 4wd hi ONLY while moving up to 55mph or something like that. DO NOT try to shift onto low 4x4 unless your barely moving,like 1mph, and preferably stopped completely.

    89 YJ sputtering through intake and no power after new motor (2.5, manual transmission)

    IMO you'd have to have one huge vac leak to cause what you describe. Also typically the idle speed would be quite a bit higher with a vac leak. I have to admit Im not that familiar with the 87 thru 90 as Ive avoided them purposely for various reasons. Have you tried pulling any codes yet?

    89 YJ sputtering through intake and no power after new motor (2.5, manual transmission)

    Have you double checked all the connections you undid when you swapped engines? Pop the dist cap off and see how much play is in the shaft. Just for chits and giggles in the absolute dark of the night fire it up with the hood open and look for spark arching across the plug wires. A few more...

    89 YJ sputtering through intake and no power after new motor (2.5, manual transmission)

    Is the miss an even miss like in a couple cylinders are not firing? Or is it random sputter?

    Hard to start

    Odd, however when you disco'ed the battery the ECM may have dumped its "adaptive memory" and needs to relearn. Regardless it should have started normally.
