My dad, my brother, and I have been restoring our 1991 2.5L 4 cyl YJ as a family project. We've spent the past few months troubleshooting a rough running engine with sputtering and power loss and we could use some help. We tried to fix it by replacing parts and installing new sensors. Now the...

I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Country 4WD 4.0 and have been having this issue for about a week now. When I give it some gas, it sputters like it isn't getting the fuel. This seems to happen in both lower and higher gears. I went to Autozone, and they got no codes when checking the engine. The...

:crying2: My 1996 Jeep Country started to sputter a few days ago so I called my mechanic. When he took a look, and did a pressure test, he said three misfires happened and two of them are running at about 70-90 psi. I scheduled for him to do a tune-up (plugs, wires, distributor, rotor) to at...

1998 GC Laredo 4.0 - *FIXED* voltage drop and engine sputters At times while idling my voltage will drop below 14v. I'm guessing this has to do with too low of an idle causing the alternator to not run? Second and more pressing question - Randomly my engine sputters. No codes have been thrown...

My YJ has been hiccuping recently. It only hiccups when I'm in 5th gear on the interstate. Anytime I run about 2,000 RPM+ can be sure to expect a few hiccups along the way.
