Ok well just did my intake gasket set and got it all back together an it ran, just kinda bad at first. After a little while it started running better but then when I would rev it up it would start to to kinda studder. But THEN it would just cut out all together. I think it may be hydrolocking or maybe vapor lock. I have no idea and am thinkin I may just blow the darn thing up lol.

1995 was the last year for the yj and it did no come with a v-8 so let us know what engine you have in it. I figure its a 350 conversion?? I dont think its hydrolocking tho??? I take it that it ran fine before the intake set was put on?? It sounds like it may have a vaccum leak. I would start there. Also ensure that you got the timing set correctly. If it was hydrolocking it would not turn over at all w/o letting water out of the cylinders??? Let us know what you find out. Curt
