Question Help

Anyone near Williamsport Indiana want to give me a hand in figuring out why my jeep idles funky? I have tried just about everything. I even tried changing the gas and all that. I AM LOST lol. Let me know if anyone can help. I have changed plugs,wires,fuel injectors, cap and rotor, temp sensor, fuel filter, I am not sure what else to do. It seems like it is running to rich I can smell gas when it is idling or after it has been running for awhile. It seems like it is missing also.. but seems like it smooths out as you drive it but as soon as you slow down or idle it runs rough again. If someone is nearby and could look at it sometime i would greatly appreciate it!

get carb cleaner or wd40 and spray along vacuum lines and intake manifold and the likes, If you hit a spot and it suddenly smooths out then there's you leak.

upstream o2 sensor, will cause rough idles and rich fuel conditions.
