Need advice on 97 TJ.
Hi folks. I have a 97 TJ auto with 69K miles. I notice that whenever I
leave the jeep overnight or few hours under very cold condition, the jeep will hesitate after a few minutes of driving. I could be driving up few blocks, stop at the stop sign, when press on the gas, the jeep will not move (for a second) and then after a jerk motion, the jeep will move again. Once that happen, it will not occur again. This can even happen when I was driving (25 mph) and all the sudden feel the jeep is not responding to acceleration but after a second or so, the jerk motion and everything is fine. The tough part is that once it happen I can't duplicate on the same day. I took it to the dealer and they told me to bring it back when it happens more often. Any idea? Thanks in advance. |
Re: Need advice on 97 TJ.
We had similar symptoms along with a bit high a rev on start up. Just
the one hesitation and sometimes a stall at the first stop in the cold. The connection on our TPS was dirty. I sprayed it out with a contact cleaner like WD40 and it worked perfect for 2 years. I had to do it again last summer. Just pull all the connectors on the throttle body and spray clean them. It is a good thing to do now and then anyway on a Jeep, water and mud have this way of getting in strange places.... ;-) Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's Lynn wrote: > > Hi folks.

Sounds like you might be low on transmission fluid.

Re: Need advice on 97 TJ.
I have had a similar problem to the OP ever since I bought my 97 TJ a
year and a half ago. I have a standard, (so this has nothing to do with shifting; I would know that), and sometimes, especially if it's cold out, it will hesitate when starting from a stop sign or stoplight in the morning. I'll give it gas, it will act like its going to go normally, hesitate a moment, then resume normal acceleration speed. (I don't get the "jerk" the OP described, though...) I have yet to figure out the cause of this problem, but haven't put much effort into it, either. I figured at first my fuel pump might be dying, but after a year and a half, I would have thought it would be fully dead by now, were that the case. I do seem to recall an error involving my MAP sensor being detected on one of AutoZone's little error code readers when my check engine light was on after high-altitude 4wheeling this summer, though. Could this be related (since someone mentioned the TPS possibly being related, I started wondering about this other sensor also maybe having an effect)? I haven't replaced the MAP sensor, yet, though, because it didn't seem that big a deal to me at the time, and it was kinda pricey. Sorry, I don't have any help for the OP, but if someone comes up with a good reason this could be happening that could help both of us, that'd be great ;-) /Bob David C.

A guess would be the Throttle Position sensor, needs to be cleaned
