engine running a lil rough
 
i posted this a couple days ago but i dont think it got posted ....I recently overheated my xj and now its runnig a lil rough. I changed my plugs they looked fried and its a lil better but still rough. Almost sounds like when you have a little bit of moisture in the distributor cap. Just wonderig what might be wrong:wallbash:

Are you absolutely sure you got the plug wires back on the right plugs?

Have you tried a compression or leak down test on your cylinders/valves? Maybe you have low compression in one of your cylinders due to faulty rings or a burnt valve from the over heating.
