Okay so Fist things first, '89 cherokee 4.0L 4x4 Auto.
Now to the crappy part. So for the last year MY jeep has just sat i would fire it up every 2-3 weeks, drive it around the block and park it.
About 3 weeks ago i wrecked my BMW and the jeep became my daily driver.
Every once in a while it will sputter really hard and i will loose all power. The jeep stays running but it wont rev over 6-750 RPM. If i hold the throttle down or bounce the throttle it back fires So loud it sets off alarms and the local police show up.
The last 2 times it has happened i cycled the gear selector from park thru 1st and back to park and for some reason it seemed to stop sputtering. I really dont think this had any effect.
Also earlier today it had an episode and i got it to stop sputtering and shut it off. about 20 minutes later i went out and fired it up and it was sputtering again.
Any ideas guys.
