I noticed on Saturday, I drove about 20 miles and everything was fine. drove across the street and still was all fine. Left that place to head back home...as soon as I got out of the parking lot to get on the road. I was pushing the gas down and it hesitated to the point where it wasn't going any faster. Like I was stepping on the gas but it wasn't going anywhere. it did it that one time for like 1 second and then went back to normal...drove the next 18-20 miles with no problem whatsoever. No slipping when shifting gears, pulled fine. Then I didn't drive it at all yesterday. This morning, I get in to go to work. I pulled out of my neighborhood and take a left and as soon as I straightened out, it did it again for a split second. The rest of the way to work (which is less than a mile) it was fine....The tranny shifts fine, so hesitation, so slipping, still feels strong. I haven't checked the tranny fluid yet...(am going to try and check it tonight after work, if its not raining too hard)
But it just has me puzzled. It doesn't really feel like a tranny problem, but then again, I am not so sure.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: Also, I have noticed that when I start my jeep up in the morning, it starts up normal and fine but after about 2 seconds it will get a buh buh buh buh sound from the exhaust almost like its not running right. I will hit the gas a couple times and it smoothes out and its fine and runs normal. could this be a sign of the fuel pump possibly going? I know I need to listen to see if I can hear it prime when I cut the jeep on, but I also have heard that they make a whining noise when they go bad.
