85 Cherokee New Jeep owner.
Hey guys got this jeep to offroad with. . I had a 85 ranger stock v6 2wd short be that I traded for this jeep. She's really clean and has great mud tires. She drives ok but has a strong gas smell. Also doesn't like to idle much it idles really low. And there's slight black smoke comin out when I accelerate. I read blue smokes the rings or pistons black smoke is fuel related and white smoke is water/coolant mixing with oil. So I think it could be the fuel pressure regulator? Maybe she also needs a tune up. I can also tell there's a vacuum leak .

And thank you! I'm excited to join the jeep community. And I think the engine is a. 2.5 inline 4 but it doesn't drive like a 4 cylinder lol
