New problem, I hope is bad fuel.
Just filled with Hess Premium, running somewhat rough, "surges" after some worm up. Been happening for about a week of casual use, topped it up with Exxon permium (about 1/3 tank). Slight improvement.
Now - won't start while running errands. Tried several times, walked home, got Jeep, finished errands, stopped by where Vette parked, tried it again, no joy.
Had some beers, two hours later tried again, got her going, drove right home, walked back to get Jeep.
It cranks good but no start, don't think it's ignition because of the prior stumbling, and the fact that it did eventually start. Electricals usually don't give warning shots and when they fail - it's usually dead until something is actually fixed.
I still suspect bad fuel that may have clogged the filter, or jammed the fuel pump. She never liked Hess gas, I used it because Hess is all american, no arab. Jeep never had any oroblem with Hess, Vette always ran a little rough.
Not throwing any codes, or Engine Check lit.
How can I easily check if ignition is present, How can I check if fuel is present??
I need suggestions/opinions.
Thanks for any help.
