April 2009 I replaced the broken I6 in my jeep with a new one. I then replaced distributor, cooling, and a lot of electrical.
The Problem: I get in the car in the morning and take off. It runs fine even amazingly with no power loss for most of the day. It then would occasionaly feel like something was sleeping and jerk pretty bad. I had the transfer case rebuilt and the transmision looked at. Wasnt the problem. I brought it to a pretty trusted mechanic and they did a complete tune up. Spark plugs, wires, complete cooling/oil flush and change. It started running fine. 4 days later it did it again. This time it kept doing it. I would drive and it would cut out and hitting the gas didn't do anything except make somewhat quit backfire noises out the pipe. Brought it back and found some bad vaccum hoses going to the gas sensor. It ran fine for awhile and then it happened again. Brought it to an electrical place and they couldn't get the damn jeep to act up.
So problems... It goes and jerks, then cuts out, gas pedal quits working and eventually the car dies. Leads me to gas. But the injection system and fuel pump/filter and lines are good. What else could it be?
Thanks in advanced for the help.
