Re: stutters and back fires when throttle floored ...wrangler 4.0 mpi
Do you live anywhere where it is cold enough to cause condensation to
freeze up?
I note the use of the word petrol, but just around freezing temps and
non or low use of the gas with less than a full tank in it can cause a
lot of condensation in the gas tank. This can plug up the pickup
sock/filter in the tank with ice beads.
Maybe try some gas line antifreeze?
