Hi all,
Tripping around outback Queensland and my Wrangler has developed what I would call a misfire when I am travelling along. It happens more when the car is under load going up a hill etc. is only misses for half a second dropping the revs a little and then keeps going. At first I thought I was a bad lot of fuel so this has been replaced and it is still doing it. I have checked the battery and it is running at 14 .7 when running and 12.7 turned off. I am. It wanting to go any further as I am at Charleville and want to get it sorted. I have tried the mechanics in town and most of them just said they would work on it. Another with any ideas that I can try?
Cheers
Update,
Mechanics can’t find what it is. Found a couple of wires that had rubbed through although this didn’t fix the problem and it is getting worse. Missing even idling. They gave me some CRD fuel enhancer to try and clean it out but not really wanting to drive it out of town to push the cleaner through in case it just conks out. Will have a good look under the bonnet at the wiring in the morning and then Might give racq a call tomorrow. Glad I joined ultimate before we started the trip. Any advice would be great.
Cheers
Local shop may be able to try cleaning it with some EGR or carburettor cleaner.
Never done it myself but would have to take it out and clean on the bench.
Or even delete it from the system.
Maybe someone who has done this may advise.
Sorry not much help as never done any of the above to mine in 160,000kms
