Getting the Wheeling Fever
HellO all,

My 89YJ with 5spd that I put a 91XJ 4.0 in dieÆs after I drive it on the freeway to work? After it dies I can compression start it or if IÆm at a light I just start it and it idles fine but when I push the clutch in and slow down to stop again it will die?

Any Ideas

It ran excellent and still does except for after I run it on the freeway for about 10 miles.

No I'm getting fuel? I disconnected the fuel line at the fuel rail and it shots gas across the driveway. Last night I was driving home and it just died and I mean died without hesitation. I thought it was the coil so I replaced it and it still will not start? It turns over and just keeps turning over and will not start like the coil wire is disconnected. I'm lost on this one; I have no idea what to do next? Solenoid, ballast resister, CPS or computer?
