Tune-up stuff first.

 

ight. il pm you when i get that and if it still shuddering

 

well pulled the distributer cap off, it had some type of corrosion and its got little melt spots in the posts. the connectors in the spark plug wires pulled out, so i had to jerry rig them for now. and the spark plugs, well about to have a melt down. all of it was covered in a yellowish/white scale deposit and the plugs had a gap so wide as i can stick the end of a pair of neelde nose pliars between the electrode and the bent metal thing it archs on. think i have orginal stuff under here.

 

That's would be a problem not mine sadly

 

is yours doing the same as mine?

 

Sounds like your entire secondary igniton system was hanging by a thread!!

 

Well I thought so but yours needed tuned up bad mine has everything fresh in it so ether I'm loosing a fuel pump or the coil I jus replaced is kinda bad....

 

Probably oughta replace the fuel filter and clean the throttle body now that you know the "maintenance history".

 

got the full tune up done plugs wires dist. cap/roder fuel filter and oil change. it worked the shuddering is gone.... for now lets keep our fingers crossed. it is running better anyhow. now i gotta go to the salvage yard to get the valve that all the heater hoses go to. moving hoses to get to plug 6 and the neck snapped right off. oh well. but thanks ALOT! il come back to you if more problems occure. you know your ****

 

Glad to hear that regular maintenance fixed it. YOu can just eliminate that valve to the heater. Straight pipe it. You'll be fine. I had one of those plastic ones burst and spray hot coolant in my face.

 

Ya get rid of that valve don't need it make sure to plug the vacuum line

 

good idea bout the straight pipe. what is that vaccum bs for anyway? is that to allow hot water into the heater core? and how do i go about blocking it?

 

The HCV was eliminated in later years. It actually shut off the flow through the heater core with the AC on. Not needed. I live in Arizona and I've done our family's 3 Jeeps with no issues. The heat into the cabin is actually controlled by a blend air door anyway.

 

wtf that thing is pointless. y would that be there. its gonna be simple when my woman comes home with it. got the hoses caped right now. how would i seal the vaccum leak

 

Screw. Or vacuum cap.
