1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd, 147,000 miles, V8 (5.2 liter), Auto, 4 WD
I am a female owner who works on my own vehicles. Cannot afford to take vehicle to mechanic. I drive it a few times a week. Jeep started out idling very rough for a couple of weeks. Then died when braking after engine warmed up. Repeatedly died upon immediate restart. Checked spark plugs. One was covered in gas. One cyl not working. Rest of plugs perfect. Dried off wet plug. Changed out all plug wires. Distrib looks ok. Changed air filter. Idled slightly better but still rough. Runs ok when cold but still dies when braking after engine warms up. Have yet to check trouble codes. In the meantime, would really appreciate any input and suggestions.
