I have a 93 I6 automatic. Friday me and the wife depart for PA to go to rausch creek for the weekend, about a 9 hour drive from where I live. The jeep does fine until we get into PA where it seems to start hating the mountains. About 2 hours out I notice the jeep wont rev above 3500RPM. Weird I thought, but no big deal, probably just the ups and downs of the hills. Well then I noticed It wouldnt go above that on the downgrades either. So i tried flooring it. It jumped up to 4000 but the speed actually decreased, then it jumped back down to 3500. Made it to rausch creek, did the weekend wheeling thing, then decided to head home yesterday. On the way home, It was doing the same thing again. Made it almost impossible to pass anybody (could only pass if I had a long downhill stretch). Normally I go 80 -90. (lead foot, I know.) so being limited to 75 sucked for me. by the time I got into ohio my rpm was limited to just under 2000. if I tried to push it above that, it would jump up to 2500 and then the engine would bog down like it down shifted. so I had to drive the 4 hours through ohio at just under 2000 rpm with a max speed of a bout 55 - 60 :banghead:. if I popped it into neutral, I could rev the engine no problem. But in drive was where it was giving me a hard time. Also i could not speed up to merge with traffice properly. glad it was late at night at not much traffic. I havn't gotten into engine systems or transmissions yet so im not very proficient in this area. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
