stutter and shake.
1987 cherokee 4.0 157k ish miles. Recently It stutters and stumbles only when it is cold and accelerating. Once it warms up it goes away and drives just fine.
I am guessing it is the distributor or something like that but I also wonder about bad gas. I ended up going and filling my tank up after the storm we had here. I would think bad gas would make it stumble all the time though.
Any ideas?

I replaced all that on mine,its been fine till now,I think caus its getting colder,I'll start it up, let it sit for a few,then pull away.I get to the stop light,stop and it idles down then dies.It fires right back up,I think its just cold blooded,cuz after its to temp it doesn't do it any more.

It takes me awhile in the morning these days to get out of bed. I am twice as old as our jeeps though,let her warm up a bit see what happens.

Just another quick update. It seems now that I do not have to let it warm up anymore. It just quit the previous behavior. Maybe it finally got all dried out or whatever but it seems to have gone away.
