cherokee engine sputtering
 
Hi I recently got a engine sputtering problem, It sputters when idleing,also while driving. It sputters for a second then it runs fine again, but after about 10-20 secs it sputters again and it continues to do so intill im done driving. Anyone have any ides on what i can do :sweatdrop:

I recommend checking fuel pressure at the test port on the fuel injection rail. At idle 96 and older 4.0 should be 31+-1psi and 97 and newer should be 49+-5psi. If your Jeep is even 1psi lower than spec. your Fuel pump is going bad. If the fuel pressure is good I would read out your (CPS) Crank Position Sensor. If that checks good I start checking ignition componants I.E. clean and regap or change your sparkplugs, clean or replace the distributor cap and rotor. Read out and if need be replace sparkplug wires.
