Will try the injector wrap first. Presently has a silver heat shield panel. This 2000 Jeep TJ was a totally stock Motorhome Tow Vehicle with 57,000 miles on it, in near mint condition a couple of months ago. I just recently finished many major trail upgrades to it, with many custom modifications. My pockets are now empty as the saying goes, and this sporadic heat related condition just crept up to bite me.
