97 TJ Engine Skipping Chugging When Damp
Hello,
I have had a problem come up lately with my 97 TJ. Anytime it has rained fairly hard or it has been very humid and damp my engine has a hard time moving. IT chugs and skips when I hit the gas it makes it worse. Once I get going a little bit or leave it sitting for about 5-10 minutes running before I take off it is better. At first it only did it when it rained really hard.. Now it has gotten worse and does it whenever it gets damp.. Which is quite often here the water/dampness from the ocean can cause everything to be wet in the morning and my TJ engine does not like it! Thanks! Shawn |

First thing I'd do is to replace
the ignition wires,cap,rotor etc..... Or at least find out if they are causing the problem epetrill@gmail.com wrote: > Hello, > > I have had a problem come up lately with my 97 TJ. > Anytime it has rained fairly hard or it has been very humid and damp > my engine has a hard time moving. > IT chugs and skips when I hit the gas it makes it worse.

Never hurts to do that a couple of times a year anyway. Kate |

Once the engine warms up and gets going down the road I am fine.. So it seems I must find out how condensation is getting into my fuel. Thanks! |
