Hey folks, been lurking but not posting. Life has once again slowed down so we can start driving the jeep. Many may recall my trials while installing a howell fuel injection kit and trying to sort throught the mess the PO left me with the wiring harness. Oh we've taken it out for little weekend adventures but nothing serious. So here we are a short while later. I've been driving the jeep as my daily driver and I'm telling you its a blast but something is amiss. My MPG has dropped and and there is the smell of fuel in the cab. No codes logged on the computer. I like to keep things simple and start with the timing and plugs. There used to be a write up somewhere on the plug part number and the gap and the timing. For some reason I sort of remembered that I either needed different plugs or needed to re-gap the ones I had but my notes were a victim of the "Big Office Purge" brought on by the wife duing this years spring cleaning. I was going to double check everything but I cant find the article. Anyone have any numbers for these things or a link to the article. I'm sure I'll be checking the MAF sensor and O2 sensor later on but I'm hoping the cheaper alternative of plugs and timing may help. I've called howell and I need a fuel pressure gage to check the pressure at the supply and return first before we can get any further. Anyway thanks in advance for any tips.
