    TJ with acceleration issues after sitting 3 years

    Well, moving the plugs around has corrected all my problems. I did replace the plug on the #5 cylinder due to it had some scarring on the threads. It ran awesome for about 29 miles and then I parked it because I needed to get some stuff done. I wonder if there was an issue with that plug in the...

    TJ with acceleration issues after sitting 3 years

    Thanks for this advice. This approach makes a lot of sense. I just removed the plugs and here is a pic aft right at 200 miles since they were replaced. I will clean the up and then install them in different cylinders. I will report back soon with my findings. In case it makes any difference...

    TJ with acceleration issues after sitting 3 years

    Well, that didn’t last long. 15 miles in and the hesitation came back at 20, 40 and 60 mph. This time it threw P0300, P0301 and P0305. All are misfire codes. I don’t know where to begin with this thing.

    I filled up this morning with Chevron mid grade and a bottle of Lucas fuel injector cleaner and my TJ ran great but I still have that “tapping” or whatever you want to call it. Could it be something g vibrating under the Jeep?

    Thank you sir! It sure sounds like it is coming from the area near the cam sensor but I don’t feel anything when I touch it. I also can see any visible arching in that area.

    TJ with acceleration issues after sitting 3 years

    TJ family, I am here for help and guidance. Bear with me as I start from the beginning and get you caught up to my problem today. Early during Covid (June 2020) I bought a gently wrecked (I have pics) TJ for good price. During a heavy rain coupled with bald tires it had hydroplaned off the road...
