help with backfiring problems
Alright so i bought this jeep a couple weeks back and drove home almost 200 miles no problems.
here lately I have had an issue that when I start the jeep no matter if it had been running already it bogs down. whe you punch the gas it sputters and backfires and finally catches and takes off.
I have also noticed i have to crank on it twice to get it started, no blue if its related.

sounds like a cam sensor, crank sensor, or timing set to me, but that's just guessing.
