- 86' CJ 7, 258 I6, pretty much all stock as of right now
I am fairly new to the Jeep world and bought a 1986 CJ7 with a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l I6. the issue i am having is every morning i go to start the jeep, the thing cranks and cranks and cranks for about a minute before it pops off, then dies, and when i turn it over again it acts like its starved of fuel. It acts VERY VERY cold blooded even on warm days when its 70-80 degrees. I had one person tell me the mechanical fuel pumps dont have a check valve in them to keep fuel at the carb, but could this be the issue with it starting hard the first time. after the first time it starts for the day it seems to pop off fine the rest of the day.
any help would be great- and i have about a million questions on mod'ing the thing. its 90% stock with a brand new set of 31'' tires and new rims on it. plan is to get a nice paint job and lift on it sooner rather than later. Will post pics soon.
