I know i've posted alot of prolly stupid questions, but this afternoon I almost had a stall out in the middle of a busy intersection.
I was pulling out of my neighborhood, making a left turn. There was traffic coming, so I got on the gas MILDLY to get out in front of the traffic, by no means wide open. I get about half way into the intersection, just happened to look down at the tach, and right as it hit 3000, the Jeep bucked really badly, lost all power, RPM's dropped down do around 500-600 (my foot is still on the gas, and harder now), and all of a sudden, got all power back, and sling shot me through the intersection. At the time, I had b/w 1/4 and 1/8 a tank of gas left.
Are these things really that picky about how low you run the tank down to? I was trying to make it stretch to Friday when I get my pay check, but instead, ended up paying an extra $30 in gas, that I didn't plan for. When I filled up, It only took 14 gallons. Which ment I had 6 left. I could understand this happening if I had maybe 2 or 3 gallons left, but 6 seems to be a bit much.
Anyone else have this happen before?
