So this evening I went to a pawn shop, and parked the Jeep. Came out about 15 minutes later, went to start the KJ, and it started/stumbled, then died. Did that about 4 times. Finally, I gave it some gas and started it, and all is fine. Is this a vapor lock thing? I've started it almost instantly after shutting it down before with no issues. Any ideas, or was this just a fluke?


Thanks!

Any codes? Do you have access to a OBD reader?

No codes....today I added some STP stabilizer, and it seems ok. I think the gas stations switched to the winter blend, but we just had a warm front here in WI, so that explains it. Also started my LR3 today, it acted weird too, same gas...

Has it done it anymore?

I hate these problems that come and go. If you got a OBD reader, hook it up and see if there is any history.

Check the PCM for faulty fuel injector driver circuit. Unfortunately new PCM is the only fix if that's what it turns out to be.
