Help me!!
So I posted in OEM tech issues and only 3 people have responded out of 128 views, maybe I'll have better luck here. Basically what's going on is every once in a while my Jeep starts to idle really rough when I stop, but here's the kicker, when I'm driving it completely robs me of power. I literally floored it and it crawled to 30 mph and then rocketed after that. I just replaced all my vacuum lines and it's still doing it. I have no codes right now either. I posted a video of how it sounds when it runs rough. You can hear it best at 26 seconds. Please help!! I really don't want to take it to the dealership.

Im from Corpus but moved to DFW I was just there this past weekend , have you a way to check fuel pressure ? I am willing to bet you might have a fuel delivery problem.

How would I check the fuel pressure? I was thinking about pulling my spark plugs tomorrow and checking those out, also checking out my coil since it will be off too. It sounds like a misfire...thing is it doesn't do it all the time.

On another note you should check out 3rd Coast Jeepers on Facebook. We have some members up there in DFW area.
