hey guys my 88 yj 2.5 is hesitating slightly at times when driving even on a flat straightaway. Its as though the wind catches it and pushes on it. Im going to start with plugs then filter then if I have to fuel pump. Any other suggestions?
thanks PeF

if you have a 2.5L and you are on the highway driving into the wind, you will feel every gust slow you down.

Maybe its just because its a 2.5 liter haha..... I had the same issue and it was a vacuum line issue... Had to actually get smoke blown thru the lines to find out where it was.

Intake gaskets are know to go bad on the 2.5 too.

Sounds like you need to find a better mechanic.

Check your fuel filter. Could also be the fuel pump going bad but I'm guessing fuel filter.
If you want another mechanic to look at it I recommend Sevy's Garage on Rt. 273.

I'm thinking catalytic converter possibility, back pressure.

I should have known, they cant find anything wrong! Had it brought there on a flat bed. Fuel pump is moving gas? It started bucking, down shifted got rpms up and would go again only to buck and sputter agai. would get it going again a couple of times then finally cut out and wouldn't start. I want a new Jeep!!
This sounds exactly like the issue I had with my mom's 4.0 TJ. It ended up being the throttle position sensor. -

Couldn't of said it better myself Aaron. And if you can't fix it call Aaron he's the only mechanic ill let touch my jeep from now on. Not only did he fix my jeep he found a lot of other stuff I needed to fix that I had no clue about.
