About a week ago my 99 xj started idling like **** and had no power when the gas pedal was mashed.

check your timing like asap. almost sounds like your timing is way off. recheck your super chip settings if you can. recheck your wires make sure there are at the right places. a valve could be stuck open. do a compression check. you can take you valve cover off turn it on see if any valves are stuck springs broken etc. recheck the gap on your plugs not a huge deal but would help. lets see what else. your cat could be plugged.

i checked the gap on plus they were all in spec. i can do a compression test hopefully tomorrow. i did take off the exhaust at the header and down pipe and let it run and it didnt run any better. I will look at my setting i only changed the tune never messed with timing using the programmer.
