I was pulling into to my aunt driveway and i fell of her Pavement into a ditch i tryed backing out but i spun tire. while spinning tires i smelt the Clutch get a little warm and i little bit of smoke came up out of the hood. i figure no big deal i h ave had cars to this before. i put in in 4x4 and it pulled out fine. i drove the jeep all around and no problems. until i was sitting in a drivethrough and the jeep started to Voilently Shake and buck. I shut the Key off and it still continued to shake for about 30 second or so then Quit. i started it back up it was fine. didn;t do it again. Any Suggested. it almost remined me of a car that the timming was off. and it was dieseling. any help would be nice. if it does it again i will be taking it to the dealer.

if your "car" keeps having these issues, just drive the Jeep instead.
damn dead cats are littering the place up and starting to smell.

I had the stall bug as well, What you describe is exactly what a lot of people including myself eperienced early on.
yes there was a flash/TSB for it, but only for certain build dates on the early '07's. I am not aware of them doing it for the '08's?

My 08 JK does the same thing! But it will do it all of a sudden like. At high speeds ( 40 - 60 ) and slow ( 10 - 30 ). It s as if I got bad fuel or plugs or maybe a senser. But I put dry gas and injector cleaner in and for a day or so it didn't do it. But I'm afraid to take it to the dealer being as I have drove it through the mud pit at Jeepfest this summer and repairs may not be covered. Yes it is still stock and yes I was an idiot to do that, I know. Any help would be well received. Thanks in advance.
