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,

Re: sputtering rubi
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.
