I got my 2000 jeep wrangler sahara from parents they bought it new from dealership. When it hit about 150,000 miles when in motion no mater how much gas is in it, it acts like you have run out . It cuts out, slows down, and sometimes will backfire then will go again. Sometimes if you turn off the key and start it again it stops doing it,other times it only helps for a mile then cuts out again.I now have 210,000 miles on it, and I never know when it will do it. I am at a loss can not figure out what it is causing the problem.I know the jeep is 16 years old and I have had to replace a number of parts on it and that's fine I understand that's normal. I just can't figure out the cutting out part. Also when adding gas it kicks off the pump like it full even when it's not (every 4 to 7 cents) sometimes splashing gas back on me. This has been going on for 5 years now.

Severity depends on gas pump and station. Vehicle refuses to let fuel flow, and clicks off constantly throughout the process of filling the car with fuel. When fuel does flow, it spills out the side of the car when filling is complete rather than clicking off safely. Happens every time.

When adding fuel to the vehicle( fill up time), the auto shut off continually "clicks" itself off and spills fuel. This condition exists on an empty or partially filled tank. I have owned said vehicle since new. Problem didn't begin until adaptation of vapor recovery devices added to the gas station pumps. It now takes approximately 15 minutes of frustration to fill this veh. With the 16 gallons required to fill it. Also results in a spill every single time. I belong to an organization dedicated to this particular make and model of vehicle, and it happens very often.

Fuel line failed. Gasoline was pouring from car. Lucky to have avoided explosion and escaped alive. Dealer had the nerve to tell me the repair was not covered under warranty.
