O.K. here's a quick history of what's going on. I havent driven my jeep much in the past year. Less than 1000 miles. The battery died on it so I bought a new one last week. Put it on, still didn't crank. So know I'm thinking it is the starter. I replaced the spark plugs and wires at the same time that I replaced the battery. I just took it out for a "test" drive before my wife and I head up to the mountains. I still had to roll start it, but there was no hesitation when roll starting. I took around town(about 4 miles) and noticed it starting to "flood out" like it has bad gas. I havent put new in it and it is low so that will be the next thing on my agenda. At idol it would run fine but at about 40 mph it would start to drown out. The only way I can accuratley describe it is by saying it's like when you crank a carburated motor before it worms and you try to hit the gas and stumbles for a second. I'm on my way to get fuel injector cleaner right now, since it has set so long I figuered maybe the injectors have gummed up. It also smells like it is running a little rich so that may have something to do with it. Any suggestions? Thanks fo rnay help. Jason Hopson
