ok, this is really boggling my mind... my cherokee is sluggish when i take off from a stopped position... i have to give it a little more throttle to push it untill it reaches a certain speed, then it is fine. i changed the breaks cuz i thought maybe the breaks were sticking, they needed changing anyhow, didnt help... there is no vibration or anything like that. there is a slight jump when i reach about 15-20 mph, but its barely noticeable, it feels like something is letting it out of a bind. please help.

 

positive none of the wheels are dragging?
Like maybe the backs are over adjusted.

 

it would help if you listed more info, strait 6, 4banger, auto/manual 4x4 2x4 lift/stock. ect ect. But if you have an auto try manually shifting it and see if that helps, if it does then it is a TCU problem or a kick down cable problem. if not then we ned to look into other issues

 

its a '97 country 4wd 4.0 srt6. auto tranny.
I'll try manual shifting, hope its not probs in the tranny, headache.

thanks.

 

x2 maybe the transis starting in 2nd or 3rd.....

 

Also, When this problem started, the check engine light came on...At first the light would go off periodically..then the problem would stop..But the engine light is on constantly ..so my problem is consistent..A hose? A screen?

 

What codes did you get?

 

Were you ever able to find out what was causing that lag in acceleration. I'm having the same problem and I've serviced the tranny but it didn't fix my problem. Have you done anything to yours since?

 

try shifting it manually starting in first. if that checks out, then it's either the tps or tcu and or fuse.
