Hi Folks,
Thanks in advance for any input.
I have a 97 TJ sport 4.0, 4 speed automatic with 193K miles on the clock.
I have had the car looked at by two shops and neither were able to help with the problem I'm experiencing, I'll try explain the problem with the most consistent set of circumstances, because it has been pretty random.
Car will sit for a day or two, within about 5-10 minutes of driving the car (speed seems unimportant, has happened at 30 or 60mph) and then i'll lose acceleration, and the engine will sound like it's going to conk out.. engine revs and then drops revs and then drops etc. After about 2 minutes the handful of times this has happened everything has been a ok... and driveability has been ok...
No engine codes.. best guess so far is fuel pump? is this plausible.. I'm not a mechanic, I have a basic knowledge of things..
02 sensor/cat/tps etc was ruled out apparently because it should kick out engine codes, and shop got nothing... hardest thing of all is Jeepy has not repeated the problem while being driven by a mechanic..
Any help is appreciated... thanks.
