its giving you warning signs to drop it like a hot potatoe and run for the hills

It could be a dying airflow meter. Get it into the dealers for a diagnostic plug in, and don't listen to Ginga ever.

Agree they diagnostic check by the dealer will pin point the problem. On the down side Jeep parts are not cheap

Hence the "run for the hills" part I had to fix one and replace the steering column on one, the dealer almost decided to wreck it instead as the new steering column was soo expensive (stolen and recovered, needed new steering column, switches, and ign switch and a few other bits)

They are not cheap if you settle for rip of NZ rrp prices. Even buying off ebay with the exchange rate and shipping will see you better off. than buying here. Failing that there are plenty of spares around for them if you want to settle for 2nd hand.
