Recently at a coffee shop at a fairly wealthy section of town I met two gentlemen of leisure one was driving a Ferrari and the other a new Porsche and they both very much liked to their automobiles obviously. There seemed to be a friendly debate over which car was the best car and as I joined in the conversation, I was intrigued with this line of thought; Who Makes the Better Automobile? So the conversation was Ferrari VS Porsche and they talked back and forth about speed, handling, fuel consumption and whose vehicle was in the shop the most; basically they were asking between Ferrari and Porsche; Who Makes the Better Automobile? |
If the answer is yes, then the most probable cause is moisture in your distributor cap.
If you answered no to this question, has this problem become more frequent over time?
If yes, it sounds like you may have a vacuum leak that is causing your problem.
If the problem has not gotten worse over time you more then likely have a bad throttle position sensor.
*My gas mileage is not what it should be
There are literally dozens of reasons that could be causing poor gas mileage. We will take a look at some of the more common causes.
Check to make sure that your tires are not under inflated; this could cause extra friction between your tires and the road making your jeep work harder causing reduced gas mileage.
If you haven’t had a tune up on your jeep, this is more then likely the cause of your poor gas mileage. Give your jeep a tune up and be sure to change your air filter as this could also contribute to the problem.
We have only touched on a few of the more common problems people face while jeep troubleshooting. There are many great resources out that will make jeep troubleshooting much easier and fun for everyone.
Here are some other great resources you can use.
There is a software program that you can find online called Auto Tech that is inexpensive and easy to use.
Haynes repair manuals are also a great resource to use to make your troubleshooting a breeze. You can find these manuals at most auto parts stores.
Using the resources that are available to you both online and at your local parts store will make jeep troubleshooting a much more enjoyable experience.

| Avtorentacar recommended article: Volvo and Saab: A Tale Of Two Swedes For a country of only nine million people, Sweden has certainly left its mark on the world, particularly on the automotive industry. Two car makers, Volvo and Saab, hail from this Nordic nation. Interestingly, both car makers are now part of two American auto giants, but their legendary quality and engineering continues to shape the industry. Changes in the global auto industry during the 1980s and 1990s meant that many smaller players would have to merge in order to survive. Although Saab and Volvo were building the cars that consumers wanted and needed, their long term survival was in jeopardy. Questions regarding the costs involved in modernizing factories, streamlining production, updating models, and expanding their respective markets became paramount in the decision that both companies made to seek outside assistance. Fortunately, two American suitors were found that have allowed these Swedish automakers to continue production unabated while allowing for a much needed infusion of cash. |
