I have a 1988 Jeep XJ. Sometimes when I take off after sitting at a stop light it acts almost like it's running out of gas it kind of has a hicup and stalls a bit (the engine doesn't die) then runs fine. It has no problem with steep hills. This problem is very inconsistent it will do this one day a lot then will run fine for awhile. We checked fuel pressure it's perfect. Changed fuel filter. We just gave it a complete tune up wires cap plugs rotor. Would appreciate any advice
