Problems with the TJ
« on: September 13, 2011, 08:29:10 PM »
Apart from the clutch disappeareing,i started it tonight and although it fired up it almost immediately died,then when i started it again,had to give it throttle to get it to run,then when it did run it seemed like only firing on 3 cylinders.Are they connected at all??? Or have i more problems??

Needing throttle to keep running initially and idling rough can also be a sign of a bad/discharged battery or bad connections.
