[QUOTE="Brianfk72, post: 436077, member: 20582"] I have an 89 with the 4.2. I have added an HEI distributor and summit 500cfm 4 barrel carburetor. It was running fine and then it just stopped. Driving along and the engine will automatically shut off. I realized that I wasn’t getting a spark to the first plug so I went to work on the distributor and replaced the coil. Jeep started running again without problems. 2-3 weeks later it is doing it again. It will start up and run for a couple of minutes and then die. Won’t start back up. Let it sit for a few hours and it will start up again. Maybe she is just feeling her age! Lol! I checked the voltage going to the distributor and the alternator and it is good. Any ideas and direction would be super helpful. I am not a mechanic and bought this Jeep to start learning so I truly appreciate the help! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
