Search Results for ‘hesitation’

Hi everyone. I have a mechanical dilemma. I have an 81 Jeep CJ7 with a T176 transmission and a 350 Chevy engine. When I am driving, I can (and sometimes can't) drive to a destination that might be 20 mins. away with no problem, but when driving back, all of a sudden, when I am driving at...

I scoured every forum finding identical accounts of the problem I had. I had hesitation just off idle while accelerating that would result in a stall if I didn't let off the gas and let it "catch up". It would also happen while at speed if I let off the gas to coast and then got back on the...

So I just purchased my 99 TJ back in July. When purchased the previous owner said "sometimes the jeep hesitates when taking off" then proceeded to tell me he had the wires and plugs replaced to no avail. I had a similar problem with a 98 TJ i owned in the past and I traced it back to the fuel...

Fellow Forum Friends: I truly hate to start yet another "Hesitation" thread. I have looked over various previous postings on the topic and, at least to my eyes, none seems to quite fit with my current situation. Knowing that even a minor difference in symptoms may indicate a major difference...

Hi, I have a 89 yj with a MC2150 when u stomp on it it bogs down and might stall, it will also bog down when u stomp on it while moving and sometimes backfires. i put in 47 jets, new accelerator pump, nutter bypass, new plugs, wires, cap rotor, coil, manifold gasket,fuel filter, EGR block off...

So I'm pretty sure I'm getting taken to the cleaners so reaching out to the public for advice. I'm new to the Jeep world, please excuse my noob-ness. I very enthusiastically purchased a 99 TJ back in February. Its got the 4.0 with (I believe and hope the AX15) 5 speed manual. I love the thing...

About a year ago after my engine compartment of my 89 yj 6 cylinder caught fire. Since then I've been messing with it on and off between going home on summer vacation from college. I've about exhausted my expertise and am now hoping for a little help as i can't afford a mechanic. The fire...

This is going to be long post. I'm a verbose old boy, and believe that all too often on these posts (and I've read a bunch of them relating to this problem as late) that not enough information is given from the getgo, leading to subsequent posts till the story gets all straightened out...I'm...

hey guys, I just moved to va from ohio and about 2 months ago I replaced my fuel pump with a gmb assembly unit off amazon ($60 shipped to my door:thumbsup:), when I replaced it I did drop the tank and cleaned it out completely. now i just started having a hesitation start yesterday, once I back...

I have a '97 TJ- 2.5- 4 cylinder, 135,000 miles. I have noticed that I have had a loss of power when going up hills, I can be driving 70 mph when starting up the hill and by the time I hit the top I'm at 25 mph and the aren't huge hills or anything. I have since noticed that my gas mileage...

I'm new to posting on this forum, so let me first express my gratitude to to all those who've made it extremely useful in the past :wave: I've recently encountered a unique problem that I need to diagnose and I thought starting a new post would help streamline my approach. Here's some info on...

Hey guys. Your forum has been helping me so far in my quest to fix my jeep but I'm running into a brick wall here. I have a 2000 cherokee sport 4.0 with 161k mileage. I'm going to assume it is an XJ since it's nothing but problems. Now mind you, as much as I hate these problems, I love my jeep...

I bought a zj, and its a pile of s#&t!!:thumbdown: This is my first post but I have lurked on here for years, I decided to join because I need some help getting this turd grand up and running. A little info on the jeep first. 93 4.0, AW4, 249. 210,XXX, bone stock, sat for 2 years before I got...

Alright guys I've read and read about this problem but it seems as if my situation is a little more unique than the standard hesitation/ backfiring thread. So yesterday I started my 4 hour roadtrip in the old girl and she was running like a top. Cuising in 5th gear at 75 mph doing 2900 rpm and...

Alright guys, I'm in need of some real help. I can't figure this out to save my life. I got a 2000 TJ about 3 weeks ago, with a rebuilt 4.0, 5 sp. I'm having a couple of issues that seem to be polar opposistes of one another, but they're both intermittent. I'm just going to list all the things...

Alright guys, I'm stumped on this one.. I drive an 89 2.5 tbi Low Output So I start the ole girl and she idles fine and even seems to run fine. after a few minutes and the rig warms up, the jeep almost refuses to accelerate. I push the gas down and it seems to hesitate/surge and then continues...

On my '08 4dr with 27k miles and manual trans, I've started to notice an issue where it will sometimes lose power for a second or two when I'm accelerating. It seems to happen most when I shift into 2nd (and maybe 4th). I feel a temporary loss of power, and then it goes away. This is on dry...

Hey everyone chew on this... I installed some E3 plugs a while back (6 months ago) and around the same time my jeep started to stall right after I started it. I would also have a hesitation on occasion while accelerating. It was driving me nuts and I went though every thread I could find on...

Hey guys I recently bought my first jeep about 2 weeks ago. I've been treating it nicely with engine/tranny/diff/trans case oil and lube changes as well as many other misc maintanence part replacements (cap, rotor, NGK plugs, wires etc). Everything is working like grade A champ except an engine...
