When I start my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee V-8 for the first time of the day or after is sits for 6+ hours the engine makes a "pouff" sound kinda like a small backfire and then it is fine. Sometimes my jeep runs as if it is going to stall or cut out.

Thanks for visiting

Thanks for visiting 10w40.com

Have you scanned the Jeep for codes? Not a bad idea to get it scanned.

It sounds to me like the distributor cap might be accumulating moisture or be carbon tracked.
I would recommend replacing the plugs/ wires w dist. cap and rotor. Basically a tune up.
Scan the vehicle for codes and make sure there are no known faults first.

If there are codes in the computer get back to me for further information.
Let me know.
