Hesitation
Hey guys my 99 has had a problem for awhile now. Occasionally when I take off down the road, the jeep will start to miss. If I stay at the same throttle it will just keep missing, but if I add some throttle, I get a backfire through the throttle body and the jeep runs great? Its got me so confused. Any Ideas?

Mine did have an issue like this a year ago it was really bad worse than you described. It smelled like rotten eggs, and had like 8 mpg. It ended up being the o2 sensor but no CEL.
