my jeep was running fine, then one day I went to the store and when I left my jeep was running terrible. It idles ruff and runs just as bad when driving, I have taken it to the autoparts store and had them plug it into thier computer. I keep fixing what the computer has said, after doing this several times the problem still exists. What can it be. I have changed all of the seals on the intake, throttle body, coils, injectors, checked all the spark plugs, new fuel filter. When the jeep runs it backfires and pops until it dies then it hisses and you can smell fuel.
