The 2.5L inline 4 (I4) engine used in Jeeps today was first
introduced in '84 when Jeep was owned by AMC. Originally, the engine
used a carburetor, later versions used throttle body fuel injection,
and the current version uses multi-port fuel injection. The fuel
induction has been the major change with this engine over the years.
The 2.5L uses over head valves with hydraulic lifters and a cast iron
block and cylinder head.
The current version of the 2.5L I4 engine uses multi-port fuel
injection. This engine is the standard engine used in the Wrangler (TJ)
and Cherokee (XJ). It was the standard engine in the Wrangler (YJ)
since 1991. The XJ version of the 2.5L has a slightly higher output.
