Recently my engine has been running like crap, i just replaced my throttle cable because the spring snapped and was hoping for it to run better but it doesn't. At various times it will idle around 2700 rpm and i cant really do anything besides shut it off, and hope it starts at a normal idle. I checked all my vacuum lines and they are all connected and in working order. Any suggestions?
And one of the things that really irritates me is the crank time, it's embarrassing having the jeep crank for like 7 seconds before it catches and starts up. I have gone through 2 starters (one locked up from age, one was spinning to fast and the gear got beat up) so i really don't want to invest more money into that unless i absolutely have to.
I have a spare motor that i was going to build up sooner or later, and is there anything that i can do in the build process to improve how it runs? im getting about 12mpg with the 4:10's and 33's.
