Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The 2BBL engine in 1990 Jeep Wranglers is known for oil leaks, often from the valve cover gasket or rear main seal, which can lead to decreased oil levels and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Overheating

This engine can suffer from overheating issues due to a failing thermostat, clogged radiator, or a malfunctioning water pump, especially in older models.

Rough idling

The carbureted 2BBL engine can experience rough idling due to issues with the carburetor such as clogging or improper adjustment, leading to inconsistent fuel delivery.

Stalling

Stalling can occur due to problems with the fuel system, including a failing fuel pump or clogged fuel filter, which restricts fuel flow to the engine.

Vacuum leaks

Vacuum leaks are common in this engine, often caused by deteriorated hoses or gaskets, which can lead to poor engine performance and increased fuel consumption.

Ignition system issues

Problems with the ignition system, like a faulty distributor, ignition coil, or spark plugs, can cause misfires, poor starting, and reduced engine performance.
