I purchased a used 2001 rubicon about 2 months ago, it was in great shape and only had 2000 miles on it and i think about 250 hours. Seller said it had been sitting for awhile and needed carb cleaned. It cranked fine and ran good untill i put it in esp mode and it sputtererd a little so i put it back in d1 paid the man and left. Got it home rode it for about 30 min and the angle sensor went out. Changed sensor and it fixed THAT problem. Carb still acting up at this point. Now it cranks up no problem and runs fine for about 2 min and starts sputtering when i give it gas (worse in warm weather). Runs great at higher speeds. I cleaned carb twice, rebuilt carb, plug air filter all that and still sputters. It seems to be getting worse but its getting warmer outside witch is making me think its something electrical especaily because it dont act right in esp mode. I put meter on throttel sensor and it was in range also. Ecm maybe? Diode somewhere maybe? At the end of my rope with this thing. Please tell me something good. Thanks
fed up with stalling 2001 rubicon
