oil pressure sender broke? does the gauge read oil pressure when driving?

oil on the engine and belts, or that got into a spark plug can cause ruff idle. check engine light on at all?

how does your cap and rotor look?Could be your plug wires,map sensor,IAC,so many things could cause the rough idle,you need to check things one at a time to elimenate them.

cleaned out the throttle body and it runs better. it smokes out of the crank case. wen at a stop you can see the smoke pouring out of the hood. oil is all over the passenger side of the motor. looks like it may be blowing out of the valve cover ill change that gasket out tommorow and c if that fixes that. its got serious blow by into the airfilter. everything under the front of the jeep is soaked in oil. runs fine just spews out oil like it taste bad. ill start shopping for a new fourpopper for now and start working on a chevy 350 swap also.
