Engine swap
Hey guys I recently bought a 1990 Cherokee Pioneer with a blown motor. I found a 97 Grand Cherokee with an inline 6 and put that motor in my Pioneer. I got everything out back together and when I start the jeep it runs for about 5 minutes and starts puttering out and dies. Any ideas on what could be the problem? Is this common? Vacuum lines? Thanks for the help in advance!

Fuel pressure is definitely a suspect. Throw a test gauge on and see what happens when the engine dies.
What happens after it dies? Can you restart it again immediately? What happens if you do, does it run another 5 minutes and then die again?
Have you checked out Cruiser's site for Renix-era XJ's? If not, I would do so immediately and get started on doing the many tips outlined. www.cruiser54.com
