05 Jeep grand
 
I have a Jeep "wk" with the hemi. I have to say it is shortening my life!
Does anyone know what is causing the vibration/hesitation when the throttle
is lightly applied?
I understand I may get flamed or ridiculed, but I am going crazy. My wife's
"WJ" and my daughter's "XJ" run better!
Thanks Joe

Is that the one where you buy a V8 that decides you really wanted to buy a
V6 or a V4 ? If so, I'd investigate the cylinders shutting off for the
vibration.

It's the way it works. Cuts back on cylenders by starving the hydraulic lifters
and cutting off the fuel. I actually was waiting on the Hemi to replace my ZJ
but after a test drive and reading the problems people are having with it I decided
to keep the ZJ.

Honda is doing it with their new Accord Hybrid. I don't know how they
are shutting off the other three cylinders. I suspect that, knowing
Honda, it is a seamless operation. Of course the engine has to
restart every time you stop the car, but I imagine that is very smooth
as well.

This is what I was thinking of:

"That big news was, of course, the 1990 Corvette ZR-1 coupe (the ZR-1 was
never available as a convertible). Nicknamed "King of the Hill," the ZR-1
was built around the Lotus-designed, Mercury Marine-built, all-aluminum,
5.7-liter, DOHC, 32-valve LT5 V8 making an astounding 375 horsepower. That
is, it made 375 horsepower when an in-dash key was set in "full-power" mode
and not in the "valet" mode when it was limited to just 250 horsepower."

Hi Dave,
That's a SMOG motor, and there's a zillion ways they could mess
with the computer to make or take away horsepower, as limited as it is,
it's the fuel economy Dialer's after to justify this Hemi with the
Environmental Protection Agency, and to do that they must take away
cubic inches. My thunderbird has an OHC V8, it's not worth thinking
about. And note you were looking at 375 HP, Geez a stock '66 327" Vette
has that! And of course it's push rod, for brute horsepower like the new
Hemi.
