1989 Jeep Cherokee - no power
Runs OK when cold, damp, or rainy. No power when air temp is warm (>80)and
engine has run about 30 minutes until I disconnect the line from the MAP sensor, then it has power but surges when idling. Fuel filter, air filter, MAP, MTS, and CTS are new. Temp gauge is reading normal. In mornings when temp is cool, I'm getting 21 to 22 mpg, with MAP disconnected, it gets ~16mpg. Why would disconnecting the MAP sensor when temp is warm restore power, but lower mpg? |

Because you have a intake air leak causing lean mixture untill you un-plug the mapp. -- Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/4X4-1989-J...ict127814.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).
