So I took a deer down to the meat hacker man the other day and was coming home. Stopped at a red light. Clutch out, in neutral, radio goin. And it dies. For no reason. I wasn't starting to take off and stall it. I wasn't playin with the clutch. I was just SITTING THERE! I have a little over 3,000 miles on my JK and have had ZERO complaints on it doing anything like this before. Never done it before and it hasn't done it since...should I try the TSB or is this just some random VOODOO act of a lunatic animal rights activist?


But backstrap steaks and deer jerky are sooo good though.


as is deer chili...

 

i stall a lot but not cause of this reason. i am used to a much harder clutch in the tC i used to drive.

on an off note its great to see some one else posting in the wee hours i stay up pretty late so i'll mainly be "night crew"

 

I work 3rd shift Fire & Rescue...and its been SLOW!

 

isnt that a good thing?

 

blessing and a curse i imagine

 

i am just a night owl

 

Hmm, not sure. Might better send over some of that jerky and let me think about it for a while .

Seriously though, it is a pain in the arse. Seems the only few times it's happenend to me is when starting off, not just randomly idleing. I'm not new to a manual trans, either. My DD's have been manuals for the past several years.

 

I had this happen to me last week. Although, I have an auto tranny. I was pulling up to a red light and as soon as I stopped, my Wrangler went dead. Then all my dash lights came on. It started right back up. MY radio kept flashing on an off after that. I took it into the dealer, they updated the computer and installed a new starter the next day(they had to order the part). Hope this helps!
