Theoretically, it won't matter once it's hot. Like cruiser said, it makes it heat up quicker.

In the end, it depends on the overall condition of your Jeep as well as what type of testing your state does.

^^^ big thing for new cars. Not important on older cars: Warm up before going for an E-test.

yeah I know how it was introduced mid 83 just like most things are released before the actual year. But I was referring to the model year, sorry to call you out like that

So what's going on?

Snother rounds with ice? I've never ordered one of those at a bar. How is it made?

Do not mean to intrude, but my jeep has a loss of power at about 40 mph in that it is slow or difficult to accelerate. Exaust is smooty and it is burning fuel bad. Went through a half a tank in three days riding around town, but not really going any distance. Thanks for any assistance or guidance you can give.

Excellent. Alrighty then:

When was the last tuneup that replaced air filter, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor? If you don't know, then it's been too long.

Is there a whistling sound under the hood when the engine runs?

Is the little plastic tube that runs from the throttle body to the MAP sensor on the firewall intact?

Ever replaced the oxygen sensor?

Good grief... it takes three generations in your family to install a stroker in an MJ?!!?
