99 TJ 2.5 Hesitation
This may just be winter gas, but I'm going to ask the question:
99 TJ SE, 80k miles, K&N Intake Tube is the only "upgrade" to the Jeep.
New Rotor/Cap last week. Plugs seem fine.
As I take off driving, sometimes it hiccups anywhere between 1500 and
2000 RPM. Never above 2000. Also will happen if I lug down from low
RPMs in a higher gear.
I know I can downshift and avoid it, but it's there, it's very slightly
annoying, and maybe someone else has run across the prob. I plan on
checking the wires tomorrow after work.
Thanks in advance!

If it was mine, and it only cut out occasionally, under a load, I'd
change the plug wires.

Plugs "seem" fine? I'd change them - they are cheap.

Re: 99 TJ 2.5 Hesitation
I bought those platinum ones that are supposed to last a billion (okay,
okay...a little less than a billion) miles. That was around the 40k
mark.
But, I'll go ahead and just do the simple thing and change wires and
plugs.
Thanks for the quick advice, OldCrow & HomeBrewer!
