jeeps been sitting all weekend in the rain, went to goto the store and now it seems like theres water in the fuel or something, starts right up and idols ok. just stutters when ya give it gas. i noticed this once before when i went playing in a big mudpuddle around the drive, it stopped after 10 min or so driveing around tho
what could be getting wet to cause that after just sitting tho? didnt notice anything electrical wet under the hood. Faulty gas cap mabey?

yea, it could use some plugs im sure. wires are pretty new tho. took it around the block and its fine now. either whaterver is getting wet dries out fast, or what little water may be getting in the fuel is pushed through.

I know your wires are new but, the moisture in the air after the rain can make your jeep do that. Check all the wire connections on the cap and the plugs. At night another way to check is take a spray bottle and spray a light mist of water on the wires, specailly the ends, and if you see any sparking the wire(s) are most likely junk junk, or a bad connection. It isnt to uncommon for this problem with new wires, if it is a cheap brand. You could also buy a small packet of dielectric grease and put it on both ends of the wires to keep the moisture out. Less than a buck to do that.
