The best answer I can give is that filling up the tank
makes it run "different". Nothing clear-cut,which adds
to the frustration. Sometimes it seems like
transmission (I know the gov. press. sensor and
solenoid need changed because I have to make it
upshift by letting off the gas),but the Jeep does the
same exact thing and it runs great! Sometimes it seems
like ignition,because it has been running awful in the
rain. Yet all the plugs and wires are new. Sometimes
it seems like an electrical problem,because I can jam
on the brakes,and relays chatter in the dash.
Sometimes it seems like a loose connection or the
PCM,because rough roads affect the
problem....etc,etc.etc. Crazy!
Thanks!
