This isn't going to be much of a build since I'm broke, lol
But I will still keep track of it here.
I found a cheap 94 zj laredo. Some minor rust, runs, sort of.it has a really rough idle and runs rough.
First thing I did was get rid of this

Then trying to get it running right.
Pulled the plugs and found these
So, changed plugs, wires,cap and rotor, cleaned throttle body and iac, still runs rough.
May as well do some cosmetic work...
The cladding just wasn't working for me, so it had to go. And I hate the wheels, but I hated them a little less after a quick coat of paint

It looks weird without the factory tints and no cladding lol. How hard was it to take the cladding off? I was thinking of doing the same to mine

try a can of seafoam in the gas or maybe some type of injector cleaner. maybe that is what is causing the rough idle. how bad was the cap and rotor? That spark plug is insanely fouled.

you would be better off if it is the head gasket or head so long as it isn't the piston rings. Are you getting water in the oil? The pic of the plug was really fussy but it does look like it could be from getting water into the cylinder so I am leaning towards head gasket and maybe a warped head. previous owner might of overheated and warped the head and then the gasket blew.
