This has been a bit of an ongoing problem lately and is sort of a compressed post from another forum.
(Intermittent problem)
After heading to work, the jeep runs great for the first couple kilometers then picks up a lack of power attitude until it reaches higher RPMS then takes right off, Plugs/wires/cap/rotor button are all recent.
Shut jeep off, restart and normally, problem goes away.
Now Friday, while it was in one of its gutless moods, it actually broke down, and had a hitching misfire til I got to where I was going, shut it off, restarted and ran fine the rest of the drive.
After this weekend.
This past weekend, I changed the exhaust manifold, downpipe, 02 sensor, center sections and muffler to eliminate all the leaks.
Cleaned intake, throttle body and the IAC, I also changed fuel filter and CKP.
Problem is still there, if not worse, it wants to die when rolling up to a stop sign.
Still behaves like before though. Intermittent boosts of power, its really sluggish and getting hard to drive. While cruising and slowly getting up to speed, sometimes it will take off like it should for a few moments then when it upshifts it goes back to the sluggish misfiring pile of metal.
Any insight before I burn it to the ground?
