ok so when i first start my truck up and i try to rev, the motor bogs out and almost stalls. i have to let the motor idle for a minute or two and then it doesnt bog. i mean yea its a cold start but the tempreature here is like 90... is there any possible reason as to why this would happen? also i have a lot of things running of my battery but theyre not constantly on... i have foglights on a switch, my sound system and a siren on a momentary switch so im thinking if i increase the thickness of my wires from alternater to battery and the ground wire from the battery from the truck it may help but i dont know

can anyone please help me?

I rewired all 3 grounds in 2 gauge welding cable, and start ups are easier. I need to find time to go get a bit more for the positive wires. Take a wire wheel or some sand paper to the chassis ground points and you'll have a great connection. Need a 1/2" lug for the engine to chassis ground point, all the rest are 1 size lower, 3/8" if I remember. Not sure about alternator connection size and the two lugs needed for Power Distribution box.
Best of luck!

i havent gotten around to doing that yet... im going to youse like 0 or 2 gauge sound system wire to do it. but i did find out what it is... in my stupid neutral safty mechanism... sometimes i turn the key and it does nothing then i put it in neutral and it statrs right up

and when it boggs its just that the saftey was reading but the engin cought enough sparj to turn the motor over... shut it off put it in neutral and everything works like a charm

Hey there Gizmo. Some of the guys here who actually know things would need to know what year you have. Thought this link might help;

First off, how old is your tune-up hardware? Plugs, wires, cap and rotor?
Have you ever cleaned your throttle body and Idle Air Controller?

Gizmo52

i bought the truck used but never changed any plugs wires or cap and rotor... but i cleaned my throttle body and Idle Air Controller so i know theyre good... sometimes i thing the wires are a lil losse on the cap or mayb theres some corosion by those terminals

Gee oh Dee

Do a tune up.

And an oil change while your at it of you haven't done one lately.

Gizmo52

ok... now this might be a dumb question... bbbuuuutttt i know they make tuneup kits i just dont know what brand is best... or am i better off getting all seperate parts and putting them in? and i did my oil change about 2 weeks ago

Gee oh Dee

If it were me I would show up at any parts store and ask for plugs, wires, cap, and rotor for your year truck.

Maybe even an air filter as well.

What year is the truck? Could be needing an o2 sensor.

The Rooster

I would change the o2 sensors and do a tune start there and report back... I would get a brass cap and rotor... and do not cheap out on the tune up stuff.. you will regret it later...

Gizmo52

my o2 sensors are new cause i snapped one putting my exhaust on... im going to get the K&n filter for the stock air box for like 50 bucks but idk what brand plugs wires and cap/rotor to get...

Gizmo52

its a 96 my 02 sensors are new cause i put them on with my new exhaust and ill check my local advance auto parts to see whats good

The Rooster

do you have a napa by you? they have great tune up parts.. just get the higher line and stick with stock plugs u believe the jeep came with champion plugs

Gizmo52

yea theres one like 4 blocks away from my house but i use pepboys or advanced auto parts more because i get discounts there
