After wheelin my rig quite a few times so far this year, I have noticed that almost every single time without fail, when I shut off my engine and restart it, it runs extremely rough, often so bad it nearly stalled (and has a few times) but then returns to running normally and very strong. I'm completely stumped as to what might be causing this. When I start it up it sputters so badly it's like it's not getting gas/air/spark to half the motor but after a minute or so it's right back to normal.

Has anyone else had this issue, or any possibilities for advice as to what it might be?

Maybe your jeep needs a bigger lift or a new set of tires :P

Hope you get some good info incase i run into the same problem!!!

 

Sounds like (CPS) could be about ready to take a dump. That controls spark timing and fuel injector fire pulse timing.

 

does ur cel come on? i had the same problem i think as ur describing. i was getting a random misfire in multiple cyl or sometimes in just one cyl. what i did and it seems to be fine now is loaded up my spark plugs with dielectric grease

 

Just had a nother thought. If it is only after 4wheeling and then it straightens out afterward. You may be gettng water in your distributor or coil.

 

i have had this same problem after hauling a boat for a long distance. although it hasn't happened since my tune-up
