    Changed iac for known good one and swaped all injectors for good measure. Still a no go....same thing. Do a compression tomorrow. Witch sensor would cause an early spark....crank or cam?

    I was also worried about exhaust not opening so i pulled valve cover and cranked over by hand. All valves seem to open and close however 3 and 4 exhaust valves seem to move less than the rest. Will check the vacume leak option next just to be sure

    another timing or missmatch problem jeep tj

    I have re-indexed the sensor several times with the same result....I still cant help but wonder about the wiring harness missing plugs to plug in the 2 o2 sensors in the exhaust manifolds. the tj has 2 upstream and one downstream....however there is no catalectic converter between them....so...

    another timing or missmatch problem jeep tj

    The 2000 tj has coil packs so crossed plug wires can't happen. I however suspect things were swapped be for he got the jeep because it has 3 o2 senses and only 1 plug to plug them in. All plugs are new and gaped corectlly ... I have seen a few people claim the tj OPDA won't work in the wj...

    timing problem or miss match

    just seen it as another option on the table is all. it was an auto at first and I would not have changed it at all if it was not for having to take it apart in the first place. cold weather cracked the block so it had to come out....then the trans swap followed

    timing problem or miss match

    Having a bit if trouble verifying that. Guess I can find a used one to check before I make a decision. Custom drive shafts are way more that I thought so not going that route....

    timing problem or miss match

    So next step is flywheel swap or go back to an auto. If I go to an auto then I need custom drive shafts. If I stick with the 5 speed it's out of a 90 Xj so I need to know if clutch parts from 90 will fit 92 flywheel ....or do a cks relocation kit. Which is a better option
