Shot in the dark but I hope someone might be able to tell me what they think the issue may be.
1997 Wrangler 4.0L. Today when driving felt like no power was getting to the wheels. Had to shift into higher gears to keep going. 2nd gear had little to no power (usually pulls VERY strong in 2nd). Now has an idle issue as in doesn't want to idle at a stop. Clutch seems just fine, no noises at all, no smells, no new oils spots in the driveway. Never had any issues with her I'm the 2nd owner has 112,000 miles. Anyway to see if it's not my tranny? Or am I pretty much F'd |

Quoted: Fuel filter is clogged x2 Had this happen on my work car.. 2006 Taurus with 33k on it. Zero power at load, but it would cruise just fine. We go through fuel filters like crazy... county uses above ground storage tanks that are literally falling apart from the inside out  |

Quoted: I would lean more towards the fuel(pos contamination if fueled recently) or the exhaust clogging issue(bad cat or muffler) I just had a new car friday at work with bad fuel(from costco in lacey) was filled 2 days prior. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Lot of gas seems to have water in it lately too  |

I wonder how that happened.??? Maybe they will now just add more alcohol to gas. Somebody figured out that water is cheaper than gas and that the alcohol that is already in gas will absorb the water if they don't put to much in at a time. Corporate profits are going up.
