Just picked up a 1998 cherokee 4.0 I6 4X4 with 130.000 miles. It is in excellent shape, but when first taking off after starting it, I may get a mile or so down road and the engine will almost stop running, there will be a large POP sound from under the hood, it will then buck like a horse, then take off and run fine rest of trip. It even does this after being fully warmed up before driving. If in park, i can rev up engine several times and it will not miss a beat, jeep starts right up no problem and engine sounds good. Evan after warmed up, will drive a few miles with no problens , park and shut it off for a few minutes, start it back up, take off and it will do this again. Seems to only do it once per trip, usually within a mile or two of leaving. Sometimes longer than other times, sometimes will just miss and pop and stop rnning for a second then start back up, othertimes will keep missing and popping until all forward motion is lost then start running again. There has not yet been a check engine light displayed during any of this and when i check with my scan tool shows no codes, please help, can post here or email me at [email protected]
