I replaced injectors on my 2001 TJ Sahara (4.0) about a week ago. Suddenly, the other morning I started it up and it had a miss. Up till then, it ran perfect. I left it sit and when I got home, replaced the plugs knowing a few old injectors where really bad. Started in up and it still runs like crap. Let it run a bit and it started smoking (black and blue smoke), with a terrible smell of fuel. Changed out the PCV valve, which helped a bunch, but it is still running extremely rich. It takes about 25 seconds of turning over before it starts compared to firing right off before.
I’m being told its likely the fuel regulator. No check engine lights, but I can clear out the block with black smoke. I have used up a 1/4 tank of gas just idling over the past 2-days. Does this make sense to anyone? I have ordered the pump assembly as my skid plate needs replaced anyway. Was also told it could be the MAP sensor. TPS is newer as is the air/fuel. It’ll idle but it has a miss. Let it idle for a bit and it will fill the garage with fuel and smoke.
I’m all ears - Am I heading in the right direction with the pump and regulator?
