Fuel Problem
I have a 1991 Jeep Cherokee. When driving it sputters, then surges. I replaced the fuel filter. It still has the same problem. Could this be related to the valve that sticks up out of the tank? I was melted by a leak in the tailpipe. I dropped the gas tank and reinstalled a new one. There was a hose just hanging next to it. So, I just plugged it into the valve since it had a tip that looked like it needed a hose. Did this cause the problem? Is it a vacuum problem?

Engine Swap
I am looking to buy a new 4.0 for my 2000 XJ. What years will be completely compatible? What year did they go distributerless? When did they go to Fuel Injection. I know that in 2000 they went to smaller exhaust ports, does that mean I can only use a 2000-2001 engine unless I change the computer?

2) It's the rear CCV orifice. There is no PVC valve on the 4.0L engine - it uses a different system (CCV) - don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The CCV system consists of the rear CCV fitting, which has a metered size hole, and the front elbow, which is open.
NAPA has that parts that you need. Part #715-1365 and #715-1366 are the rear fitting and hose

1) The engine management system is referred to as a "Renix" system - no engine diagnostics - it's all manual

I used a "93" engine in my 2000 xj, so any engine from 93-2001 will work. You'll have to change a few minor things but it's not bad or time consumming.
You can check out my engine swap at the group I have (link below)

00-01 direct bolt in....earlier models, you have to reuse the intake, exhaust, sensors....pretty much everything
i just went thru that process with my 01

I'm runnin out of ideas anyone got any.
when I turn the a/c on my radio cuts out for a split second and my volt meter drops to around 10. Also on occasion it either wont start or it struggles to start, like it has A weak battery. I have replaced the alt. battery terminals andBATTERY (yellow Optima ). Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I bought a 94 rust bucket yesterday. I'm going to start tearing the 94 motor out Friday night and see how far I can get this weekend. I know about the 2 bolts at the top of the trans that need E sockets, anything else I need to know about?
My plan is to pull the front clip and radiator to make this easier, did you go that route?
