Re: 2.5L to 4.0L TB swap

Well, I guess I have something acting up; if I install the 2.5L TB, the engine runs OK until about 4,000 RPM's, where it starts to stutter and will not go past it. With the 4.0L TB on, the idle is acting up, and the engine will not rev up propperly (I get a lot of smoke from the exhaust, some backfiring on acceleration, and stalling when flooring the gas pedal).

Keep in mind that neither the TPS or the IAS are the problem, as I replaced them thinking it was them that were acting up. I also replaced the O2 sensonr about a month ago. As I mentioned, I know my fuel system is not up to par, but in your opinon, is this the problem, or is my problem somewhere else? Opinions extremely welcome at this time...

For the time being, I have uninstalled the 4.0L throttle body, as at least with the 2.5L TB I can run the Jeep to work and back (even if I cannot accelerate to 4,000 RPM's, regardless if I am in gear or just revving up the engine on neutral).

Felipe
