I have an '85 CJ7 with a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l , auto Transmission , CA emissions. the problem I'm having is when I put it in gear it acts like the timing is way off and it sputters and dies. In neutral and park it idles beautifully and there is no hesitation with throttle. Some days it will run perfect and others will not run at all. I have replaced just about everything electronic minus the ECM.the EGR is working, new pcv etc. Could this be caused by a faulty fuel vapor recovery canister? It runs better inthe upper rpm ranges. I have checked for vacuum leaks with no real problems. It has 98,000 original miles and up until now has run great. I love my CJ and am very frustrated. fuel injection is in my future. Any help would be appreciated.
