Stalling a lot and low torque at low RPM
Is it just me or is the 3.8 V6 pretty gutless at low rpm?
My old 89 4.2 petrol Patrol just idled up my gentle front driveway slope, but I find the new Jeep has to be given some revs to avoid stalling resulting in a faster garage entry, or I have to slip the clutch to prevent it stalling, and even around town after a week I'm still stalling it embarassingly like a Learner driver.
Then sometimes it seems when it stalls it refuses to crank, unless I put the handbrake on.
The Jeep I test drove seemed to have similar problems if not worse because it had the taller diffs.
I'm a bit concerned about this engines offroad performance now at low rpm and especially as I plan to go bigger on tyres.
