Hey guys, new member here hoping someone can help me solve my problem. I have an 89 4.2 L YJ that was nuttered about 2 months ago. It has been my daily drive and ran great for weeks. Then one day I had to travel for work about 2 hours away drove down on the freeway fine, no problems.... then on the way home with about 20 minutes left it started to lose power and seemed to shift down. I was able to get it towed home and figured it was the mechanical fuel pump because it cranks but seems like its not sending gas to the carb. if I spay starting fluid into it it does want to start though. Replaced the fuel pump and filter but still didn't do anything... what else could it possibly be?
 
Fuel line plugged. If not a plugged filter it is probably plugged at the tank.
