Commuted to work in the CJ for the first time. Casual dress day so it seemed like a good idea. It's about 20 miles to the office and I wanted mostly surface streets with a little freeway just to see how it handles it. Got about half way and the CJ started sputtering, lack of fuel from the sound and feel of it so I pulled off the road to check it out. Seemed fine at idle but rough under a load so I headed back home. Got about 1 mile down the road and it started to die, no throttle response. Got off the road again successfully, coasting this time. Pulled the air cleaner and worked the throttle and it seemed to be getting fuel. Check a few other things, you know like all the idiots you see wiggling wires and the like. Thought I would give it another try to make it back home. Got almost all the way back home, and it was running like a top.
I started thinking what else do I have to do today and why not give it a try so I turned around again and made it all the way to work without a hiccup. Even about 4 miles on the freeway.
We will see how the ride home goes.
