so the jeeps been acting weird lately. i show no codes on the dash.
1. today on the highway doing about 70, the jeep bucked like it dropped lower in rpm then went back up. i noticed this too when driving up a hill after this. i wasn’t really watching the rpm during these moments but that’s how it felt. doesn’t feel like a slip though.
2. the jeeps been taking a few seconds to crank over, although it does turn over on the first try. it doesn’t do this when it’s already warm, and didn’t do this until about last week.
3. the idle isn’t too rough, but it isn’t great. it sits around 550-600. a handful of times when i start it since owning it id start it, it’d run really rough, then go back to normal after a few seconds
4. a little slow on the acceleration. feels like it’s dogging a bit and i feel like i’m consuming more gas, but i haven’t done any actual mpg calculations.
5. don’t know if this is related or not but i read it may be. anything over 3/4 of a tank my gauge will read empty until i hit half a tank. once it’s a bit below a quarter tank, it’s hardly accurate and changes reading frequently
any suggestions? or a route to go first. i know the typical tune up clean the IAC or the CPS but i was wondering my best route to check out first with the symptoms i mentioned.
