MY 87 YJ MODS AND UPGRADES

Nutter bypass

At 70 k miles my computer is fine , right ?

I thought so anyways . My wrangler runs pretty well with the almost stock 4.2 . I am currently running a Weber 38/38 electric choke carb ( although I feel it is to big for a stock engine ) which the previous owner had installed . I also did the TEAM RUSH UPGRADE , but I am still running a stock coil .

My jeep would tend to run rough at times . I would adjust the carb trying to get it to smooth out . The times it would really act up is when I would be driving at a decent speed or for a few minutes with my foot on the gas . When I would come to a light or coming down the off ramp , it would just stall . It would start right back up no problem .

I checked the timing again … checked vacuum line over and over … adjusted the card mixture settings so many time I must have worn out a screwdriver ( I could never adjust it to the baseline settings without it stalling ). So I rebuilt the carb but , still stalling .

One day I got inspired and decided to re-do my vacuum lines . I didn’t remove any because I had done most of that already , I just wanted to get rid of  all the junk and extra line . While I was under the hood , I figured what the heck , I’ll do the Nutter bypass . It seams that my ECM was not as good as I thought because all my stalling problems are gone and when I adjust my mixture screws , they actually do something !!!
