AW4
91000miles
4.0L
this has happened a few times previous but never this bad...alright i drove to best buy to get something i was in and out in less then 10minutes id say when i started up my jeep it started horribly..it was shaking the E-fan went Nuckin Futs, and it couldnt sustain a steady rpm...i let it idle and i could really hear my exhaust leak..its a tiny one and normally its just a tick tick tick steadilly but ut was growling like a SOB...i revved it a few times and it calmed down and went back to normal...now i kno my alt is going could it be that its just really on its way out and for quick shut offs and turn ons liek that its not restoring the juice?? it doesnt run hot, it rides fine when ur moving its just soemtimes start ups are rough...and sometimes when i shut it off it seems to shudder.. i dont kno if its what a mighty 4.0 feels like powering down or if its still firing because of build up/deposits (possible??) really need help this is my DD and i wanna make her run perfecto..
