Welcome to CF. Nice lookin' ZJ. I'd try doing a tune up with new Champion plugs, new cap, rotor, wires, and air filter, as well as cleaning the TB as stated above.

I have never used anything but the Champion plugs that are recommended in either of the Jeeps that I've had. Never had an issue with them either. I think the Bosch plugs are overpriced, and from the reports I've read, don't last or perform as well as the Champions. Just make sure you install the correct plugs at the gap that's specified on the rad. core support.

Hope you enjoy your ZJ 1/2 as much as I enjoyed mine. I had it for 6 years before selling it to my son. He's on here now as ZJAY.

I haven't taken either one of my Jeeps off road. Pics of the ZJ I sold are in my Profile. My son hasn't added them to his Profile yet.
