Yea I have fresh gas in it. I changed the Spark plugs and found a broken tube that is suppose to take fumes from the gas tank and recycle them in with the engine , so we plugged that up thinking it was removing the vacuum from the engine and we still got sputter.

Me and my dad the other night took it out for a drive and really pushed it - it seems to take a while for it to catch - its a 4.0 L engine and it doesn't get power for awhile after you push the gas. The engine was cold at first and was not sputtering at all just had a problem finding power, but after it warmed up it seemed fine. The engine seems good - So we thought it was fine, but

the other day I took it out for a drive and the engine temperature was in the middle of the Gage which I assume is pretty hot and it was sputtering anytime I wanted power from it, almost every time I pushed the gas.

I live in Miami ,Florida so It gets pretty hot

Any suggestions, like what wires might be giving it problems.

Thanks
Mark
