Like everyone else. On any given morning or afternoon or evening it choices, it will lose power and back fire when initially starting, until you stomp on the gas pedal. It will then back fire and power returns. Replaced every part on the engine and the ECM twice with no permanent success. Problem started at 120,000 mile. At 162,804 miles installed a Jasper rebuilt long block (3.9) and replaced every components again: 4 oxygen sensors, distributor, crank & position sensors, fuel pump, MAP, water pump, thermostat, every component you can think of.. .Ran fine for three weeks and then the issue returned again. But no fault codes. Previously would have a misfire for cylinders 3 and 5. Someone must have an answer. And if he or she does and shares the answer they can become very rich!!!
