I'm dealing with some rough idle/misfire that seems to be related to heat soak from what I'm reading. Here in TN it's between 65-80 degrees right now so pretty idyllic operating conditions. However if I run the Jeep for let's say 10-15 minutes to the grocery store, jump out and grab some items (let's say another 10-15 minutes), and then come back out to crank the Jeep, I get very low, rough idle (almost dying in the first 10-20 seconds) and misfiring if I try to launch too early.
Reading/watching further, it sounds like heat soak is the most likely culprit even though mine is a 98 SE 2.5L and that's not a defined issue. I've heard everything from "put a wooden clothespin on the fuel line" to "replace your header, there's likely a leak creating too much heat".
I'm seeing this insulation kit from Design Engineering for the 4.0 that seems like a good play but not seeing anything comparable for the 2.5. Am I out of luck and need to modify the 4.0 kit or fab something up? Or is there something comparable for the 2.5 and I need to keep looking?
