    paid cash for it.
    I’m going to guess it’s a fuel problem, since most ignition systems either work or don’t work and rarely exhibit symptoms like that. You’re lucky that a ‘91 Jeep is a pretty basic vehicle and easy to work on. Check out (1) a dirty/rusty tank, (2) rusty fuel line, (3) clogged fuel filter, (4) dirty carb, and (5) fuel pump. Make sure that your fuel system is delivering more than one squirt of fuel that starts the vehicle, but a steady flow. Even if this isn’t the problem, the fuel system on a 31 year old Jeep will benefit from a little love.
