99 cherokee running problem
i own a 99 cherokee automatic 4x4 with the 4.0 it has about 135k on it and recently it has been giving me some issues. when i start it up after its been sitting for a while it starts and runs fine for a minute or so but then it will start missing for about 45 seconds unless i shut it off and restart it then its fine..i dont think it has had any sensors replaced on it and any help you could give me would be much aprecciated thanks in advance

no i dont quite know where or how to do that and if it were a vacuum problem it wouldn't go away just cause i shut it off and restarted it would it? im pretty new to everything fuel injected and with all the computer stuff..i am used to old carburated cars and stuff of that nature....

yeah pretty much it wont do it as bad when its in neutral but when you put it under load you can really tell it so i guess it does sound likes its droppin a cylinder

if you think its a vacum leak get some carb cleaner and spray it on the lines and if it has a bad line it will suck in the cleaner and start ideling rough. i would start with a tune up tho
