This exact problem has happened twice to my Wrangler in three months:
First, I get an engine light accompanied by loss of engine power when I throttle past about 30%. Power returns after a couple seconds if I let off the gas.
This resolves after a day or two. Then, the engine light comes back, beeps, and I have a misfire with vibration and slight reduction in overall power.
I took it in back in Jan, the code read as an Injector 5 fault, and I had it replaced ($600).
Now, the same deal has recurred. I'm wondering if I've gotten bad gas, and maybe the initial problem is water/blockage at the fuel filter, which eventually clears, but then mucks up an injector. Does that sound plausible? I wouldn't think multiple injectors should fail at 60k miles. Also, is there a way to clean/clear them at home?
