For a while I've been battling issues with my 1996 jeep xj 4.0 aw4 rwd (from a 00')
In the mornings, or after being parked for a while, It starts with a rough idle and sputtering. On cold mornings white smoke comes out with a strong gas smell and a bit of raw fuel on the ground.
Light throttle causes stalling sometimes and sputtering/bucking
The issue clears up if I mash the gas a couple times then it drives perfect but fuel economy is on the decline
I suspected bad 02 sensors, so I replaced both up and downstream, it drove great for maybe 3 weeks then slowly the issues returned.
this has me thinking it could be a stuck open injector? When the jeep shuts off, leaking fuel into the cylinder, then on startup too much fuel in there, damaging 02 sensors, spirited driving using more fuel clears it out?
how would I go about testing the injectors and what are good replacements. Also if I replace one should I just do them all
