Did something stupid over the weekend and that was to enter into a mud bog race. Started off great but about 2/3rds down the track I lost most of my power.
After I finished (yes I made it through, although very slowly) I noticed my alternator wasn't charging anymore. Tried making it to the nearest town but it ended up overheating and I had to shut it down. I did notice while driving that if I gave it part throttle the jeep ran fine and seemed to have enough power but as soon as I gave it more throttle it refused to go any faster. I also noticed that when it is revved up that it sounds "different" .... like an electric fan almost.
There is no misfiring or backfiring ... just no power.
