OK...'89 Wagoneer Ltd. (XJ) with 4.0 L. Coming off of a stop sign, accellerates fine for about 5 seconds...then engine dies. Re-start....only to die shortly after accelleration again. Thirt time...same. Fourth time very gentle on foot-feed...keeps running...but feels lke gonna die any minute. With more foot-feed, does die. Fifth time....keep in neutral after starting...and rev engine. It revs...runnning rough at first...then clears and revs high. After that, made it all the way home with no problem.
I'm thinking fuel problem? Clogged filter? Why do I think so? Well, ran a bottle of STP fuel injector cleaner through it about two tanks ago. Noticed a miss at idle while cleaner in first tank. Miss seemed to reduce with each successive tank. Could the STP be the problem? Could it have cleaned gunk from tank and/or lines...clogged filter or injectors?
Anyone got any suggestions on where to look?
Thanks in advance!
