I have a little fun but dont bash up my Xj (its a 1985, not easy to find a Non-Chrysler Xj) As for motor, yes i swapped it to a IH tractor motor but not for HP or speed but Low end TQ instead. Shes not the fastest but pulls like a diesel. In short, everyones Xj here is different in one way or another and built based on need.
Well put ^^^^^^

started a few days after replacing rotor, cap, plugs and wires. It ran like new for about 4 days and then it randomly started one night. now it only does it when the engine is hot though. it runs great when the engine is cold.

also the spark plug was very clean and didn't smell like fuel, so i'm kind of leaning toward injector.

Could be a defective plug or the injector is heat soaked.

It can happen to any injector though.

Problem might be in the cam sensor inside the distributor. sfcherokeeguy had his go out where two cylinders weren't firing properly.
