Not accelerating
Hi guys,
I have a 1996 Cherokee Classic 4x4 4.0 with the AX-15. Not often, but sometimes when I go from a stop to a quick acceleration, the jeep rolls slowly then after a second or two it pulls hard as it should (if my foot is still on the gas). I noticed a crack in my exhaust manifold...could this be causing the issue? New manifold ordered already but wanted to know if anyone has a technicial answer as to way it would/wouldn't do that.
As a side note it almost feels like it's out of gas for a split second when it happens. Been happing since I got it a few years ago. Seems to be worse when it's cold outside.
Other mods I've done (nothing crazy):
Neon fuel injectors
63mm throttle body
Swiss cheese airbox
Brown dog motor mounts
New parts since 2014:
Water pump
Several tune ups
Ignition coil
Fan clutch
Radiator
Alternator
Starter
Thermostat
Fuel filter
Catalytic converter 2.5"
Cat back 2.5"
Thanks!
