  • Running like poop.

    My engine just started running like serious poop today. Randomly after starting it, within five minutes or so it would start to skip, almost die, and then run fine. I let it sit at idle for about five minutes and it did it again. After hitting the throttle a bit it went away.

    Someone better with 4.0's than me, explain the possibilities.

    Spray FI cleaner in the throttle body and see if that helps. Never a bad idea to run a fuel system cleaner through it

            check fuel pressure while you are at it. sounds like it might be fuel related

            97 TJ that I think is pretty neat.

              I cleaned a small sandpit's worth of Rausch mud out of my air filter... the upper side was clean but the underside was solid coal mud. It helped a lot. I still need to check rail pressure but I'm going to do that at the same time I fashion up a NSS bypass.

                    X2 on the fuel ijection cleaner,the 4.0's get carbon build up on the valve seat and will misfire and as the valve rotates it will seat better in certain spots and the motor will run good.I have some good bg fi cleaner,i can give it to dizzy next time i see him.

                      That'd be awesome!

                      Cleaning the intake and the filter helped a lot, but it's still randomly misfiring.

                        Well SwampAss! Moisture can form / capacitor C. This moisture can cause mold and odor. There are products you can spray / C air vents, which will kill mold and remove the odor. In addition, there is a water valve in the pipe somewhere near the condenser / C. Make sure that this gap in the pipe is open. Notice the water dripping from somewhere near the firewall on the passenger side of the vehicle when the AC is running.
