so guys...haha i had an interesting experience tonight. Went wheeling up on the hill to test out my new truss and limiting straps with zack and another buddy with an xj, xj almost rolled had a recovery goin on so i shut my jeep off... well i went to start it after we got the xj back on the trail and it started and ran really rough then died. would turn over but not start. Had full tank of gas- fuel pressure was good before,after, and during cranking-had spark, and had air. checked TPS, maf, nuetral/safety switch, fuel filter, intake, fuel rail/lines, every fuse and relay and pretty much everything else. towed it off the trail got to pavement and it started right up. Could it be the CPS? thats about the only thing i think it could be. Runs great now and before, never had this problem before except on my 1st zj, did exact same thing-got to the pavement and it started right up. after that my 1st zj never did it again. Weird eh?? anyone got any ideas? gonna thoroughly check everything tomorrow.

Vote for me!
I am up for COTM this month. To sweeten the deal, there is a good shot of Mike from behind on one of the pics 
I am up against a Comanche and a 2-door... people LOVE comanches and 2-doors, so I may need help
