So...I was driving to work this morning and all was beautiful. I pulled up to a stop light...then proceeded when it turned green. Upon this acceleration, my Jeep was very sluggish. I mean 0-45 in something like 4 minutes. I was able to get to work. No CEL. So I was thinking turbo...I put down the passenger window and revved the engine a few times and I can hear the turbo. I popped the hood and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I'm due for a fuel filter change, but wouldn't think that would cause a sudden power loss like this. Any ideas? |

I think you called it. It wasn't very firm so I pumped a few times. That seems to have restored the power. I'll change the filter tonight and start figuring out how I want to do the lift pump. Thanks again... |
