So some of you may have read my dilemma...03 TJ 4.0 has power loss, and dies after running for about 5 to 10 minutes...not coughing/sputtering...just zero power, and dies, if you come to a stop/push in the clutch...starts again, reluctantly, after a few minutes, but the power is lacking...
In order to avoid simply throwing parts at it, and because I can't afford to take it to a shop (and prefer to do it myself, if I can just figure out what the problem is) I want to properly diagnose the cause...
I figure a fuel pressure tester, and a compression tester are good places to start...
Anything else come to mind? Should I look into an OBD reader? Or is the "turn the ignition to start 3 times" trick good enough? (Check engine light comes on every few months or so, then goes away after a few days, and currently not showing any codes)
Just had to walk a half hour in the rain, and while my fat a$$ can use the exercise, better weather would have been nice
