89 Xj trying to die
I have a 89 XJ and this morning as I went to go to drive it, it would lose power mid drive, jump a bit, stall/shut off for a few times and idled rough. I thought it was the exhaust pipe (it has a little hole in it) but I no longer think that's the problem causing it. Is there any way to fix this issue or anything I should look at/check?

Similar thing happened to me. Check the TPS, the CPS, and ECU. The ECU and CPS was my problem. Go to Cruiser54's Renix Tips and he goes through methods on checking the voltage on the TPS and CPS and what voltage the TPS and CPS should be.
