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

You might consider running some fuel treatment through it too in case you
have condensation in the fuel tank. Never hurts to do that a couple of times
a year anyway.

That is what it sounds like.. It is getting condensation in the fuel
in the mornings when it is damp.
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!

Condensation in the gas doesn't go away when the engine warms up. It
happens from running on empty all the time.

Your distributor cap and rotor are the 'most' likely problem with a bad
plug wire next.

To check the spark plug wires for leaks, I open the hood in the dark and
spray mist the wires with water when the engine is running. If your
wires are bad, you will see sparks.

Re: 97 TJ Engine Skipping Chugging When Damp
 

I'd bet Ign. wires.
Wait til its dark and damp, start it up with the hood open and watch
the lightshow.
If no lightshow, pop the distributor cap and look for a hairline crack
in it. WD40 can displace moisture in a pinch. So can Either with
EXPLOSIVE results if not let to dry and dissapate.

Sparkplug wires. I had that same problem, only worse, on my trusty
Cherokee Chief about 15 years ago. A new plug wire set was a complete
cure, and no problems since. I change them more often now :).

I've gotten water in my tank from cheap gas too.
I always run on the top 3/4 of a tank... usually the top half.

It was just a thought though.

Just curious, how do you always run on the top 3/4 tank? I equate
that to running about 50 miles, then filling up again. Do you have
peasants that follow you and then top you off all the time? :)
