I recently purchased a 91 4x4 with a seized 4.0. I have rebuilt and reinstalled the engine but while it now runs, it has very little power and low, but steady, vacuum (14 in Hg).
The cylinders all have good compression (130-150 psi). I have pulled several plugs and they are black so I don't believe this to be a fuel delivery issue.
I have put together many motors and have never had this kind of trouble. Is there something on the 4.0 that can cause the ignition timing to be retarded?
The exhaust is new and free flowing.
Thanks for looking at this
