Did you insulate your injectors yet? Heatsoak......
I haven't had the chance to get the parts from Jeep. Is there a "homeade" way to fix it that you know of? _________________ 01 Jeep Cherokee

I'm not sure of a homemade way. I guess you could get some type of thin foil-lined insulation and see if that helps. _________________ '98 XJ Sport: 4.0L/AW4, 30x9.50 BFG AT's, Full Factory Skids

It has got to be heatsoak. We looked at homes all day in Orlando today (98deg ) and without question if I left the hood closed it would studder for a good 45 sec. after startup. If I cracked the hood it didn't studder a single time on startup. _________________ 01 Jeep Cherokee

Sounds like heat soak. My '99XJ will do that but it is only for maybe 10 seconds. I got this from Summit - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/THE-17062/ - not sure if this is the correct size so measure the OD of an injector first. I put 2 layers on each injector with the slits 180* off from each other because I slit the tube to put over the injector instead of removing them. Did not help. When I had my A/C issue which was do to heat - the clutch on the compressor would quit engaging when it got to hot - if I popped the hood when I was going to be at a store for a short time it would work when I came back out, it I did not pop the hood it would take several minutes for the a/c to start working again.
If you do change the injectors let us know how it does because I have been tempted to try that but have not because of the cost. _________________ Charles
