I have a '91 4 cyl trooper (red, of course) that we are using to haul the dogs into the woods and not worry about Manzinita scratches. I had the transmission rebuilt, and the engine rebuilt (twice... the first one messed it up...). It has a new aftermarket head, upgraded clutch, new electronic ignition and other items replaced. My (current) mechanics are great and did a great job. It runs much better but still a little rough at idle. It had most if not all of the smog gear removed before I bought it and assume that missing that makes it run less smooth than I expect. My question is if it would help to put a Webber carb on it and bypass the computer and the (sort of) fuel injection of these engines. It does the job and has good power (.02 over) but wonder if it can be improved.
I have owned 4 Troopers over the years and consider the first generation to be great back road rigs.
I will appreciate any input. I have lurked on this site periodically to find information over the years and appreciate the fact that you are still here.
Thanks
