I Have a 90 Jeep cherokee with A 4.0 Straight 6. It idles ruff and will die after a few min. I have replaced the Map, O2, Crank shaft position sensor, Injectors, spark plugs, wires, did a fuel treatment, did a leak down, and checked for vac leaks. I don't know what else to look at. If it helps it started running ruff after driving in the ocean. It was Stupid i know. So anything would help. thanks

Did you change the speedo gear so that your odometer reads correctly?

Then one of two things has happened. Your odometer read high before leading you to believe you were getting better mileage than you were, or you really do need to change your speedo drive gear because now it reads too low. Define "pretty much" as far as speedo accuracy now.
