Have a dead miss at 1500 RPM while driving down.

Scan for codes a and check for a vacuum leak. Then try to short out a cylinder one at a time to find out which one it is then check compression. If that's ok then check for bent pushrods/rocker arm problem etc.

I CAN LINK YOU TO OTHER POSTS, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED CONCERNING A "NUTTER BYPASS" AND BASICALLY MAKING UNDER THE HOOD, CLOSER TO A CJ.....SORTA ELIMINATING THAT PESKY SO CALLED COMPUTER

ARE YOU EMISSIONS TESTED IN YOUR REGION, THIS MAY NOT MATTER IF THEY "GRANDFATHER" OLDER STUFF ON THRU WITH JUST A SAFETY INSPECTION

PICS BELOW ARE OF AN EXAMPLE OF, "THAT LOOKS FINE"....but it really ain't!

CORRODED COIL CONNECTION ON CAP---IT LITERALLY HAD TO BE "BROKEN" OFF OF THE CAP......NOT TO MENTION HOW GOOD THIS CONNECTION STILL WAS (IT STILL RAN PERTTY DARN GOOD).....THE PICS WERE AN AFTERTHOUGHT, I SORTA STUCK IT BACK IN PLACE FOR THE 1ST ONE (YOU CAN SEE THE POWDER, THAT WAS NOT THERE WHEN I INITIALLY MAN-HANDLED IT)

LETS HOLD OFF ON GOING IN, UNTIL WE EXPLORE SOME OF THIS

REMOVE YOUR AIR BREATHER AND GIVE ME SOME (4 OR 5) GLAMOUR SHOTS OF YOUR ENGINE --BOTH SIDES---IN FOCUS--(NOT TEENY TINY PHONE SHOTS) WHEREAS THE ENTIRE ENGINE TAKES UP MOST OF THE PIC (NOT CLOSE-UPS)

EXAMPLE OF A "SHOT" AT BOTTOM. THIS IS ONE OF MANY "I HELPED" THE OWNER WORK ON, AT MY HOUSE...I DON'T NORMALLY DO IT MYSELF, I MAKE THEM DO MOST OF THE WORK, THEY USE MY TOOLS AND I EXPLAIN THE "HOWS AND WHYS"...I DO DEMONSTRATE. MOST LEAVE "KNOWING SOME STUFF" AND HAVE THAT "BANTAM ROOSTER STRUT" WHEN THEY LEAVE. I DO WELL TOO, WHEN THEY ARE USUALLY GRACIOUS AND DONATE TO ME...I DON'T FIX THEM FOR A "SET PRICE". THEY DON'T FULLY FIGURE OUT MY "SCHEME OF THINKIN'" UNTIL THE END OF THE SESSION. I SORTA THINK I MAKE OUT BETTER THIS WAY. I ALSO HAVE CLEANER HANDS!
