I've been having some problems with my ZJ. I has the 4.0. The engine has been acting up. :-\ I tried taking a little video clip so that you can hear what the exaust sounds like but its kinda hard to hear so turn up your speakers.

I've been dealing with it for quite a while now. It seems that it does it when the engine gets put under load such as towing or going up a steep hill or something like that but it doesn't have to be in those situations to do it. When it does it, i have to pull over, turn it off and let it sit for like 15 minutes. Crank it over and it runs fine and off I go till it does it again. Someone had told me a while ago that maybe it was a clogged exaust so i replaced my cat and everything behind it with high flow and a little bigger pipe. It also seems to be more likely to do it when the temperature outside is hotter. I'm extremely low on money and am very hesitant to just start replacing every single possibility. I'd like to see if there is something more likely than other. Anyway, I can't figure it out and thought I would check with all of you. Please let me know what you think. I truly appreciate any help anyone can give. Thanks
