Problem: About once every 10-15 minutes while driving, the engine occasionally backfires and loses power, but then it recovers if I play with it. It doesn't do it while idling. It seems to do it most while accelerating, and at 2200-3500 RPMs. Check engine light is on, but only after I drive it for 10 minutes or so. My Jeep does not have the capability to read codes.
Coincidence: This started happening around the same time I started towing my light boat behind it.
What I've Done (with little positive affect):
- Replaced the fuel filter
- Replaced the fuel pump
- Replaced the spark plugs and spark plug wires
- Replaced distrubiter cap
- Replaced distributer rotor
- Ran engine cleaner fluid through
Stats:
1995 Jeep Wrangler Rio Grande 4x4
4 CYL with 120,000 miles
What is most likely the culprit?
A.) Bad fuel injector
B.) Bad oxygen sensor
C.) Fuel pressure problem
D.) Something Else
Thanks!
