sputtering rubi
after i got back from uwharrie i pressure washed the entire interior of my
rubicon just like i had done in my '00 sahara dozens of times. when i cranked it monday morning to head out my engine light was on and the jeep was sputtering as if it was losing all spark every time i took off from a stop. it was ok to drive, it just had a stumble in the engine. i made an appointment to take it in to my dealer but they couldnt get to me for a few days. this morning the stumbling stopped, and this afternoon the engine light went out. obviously i got something wet (and it eventually dried) when pressure washing the interior of my jeep, but i cant figure out what could have caused that. any ideas on what to hit with some silicone? washing out my interior is a great advantage of owning a jeep (never would have considered it on any of my trucks) and its not a practice i plan on changing. thanks, -- Nathan W.

Check your gas cap. I always used a hose and a bucket of soapy water on
my CJs. (A LOT less pressure.) Never tried it on my YJ nor either TJ. Nathan W.
