Hi I would say it check your plugs. But if it is only happing when you go down hill I am not sure that is it or not. Does the check engine light come on when this happens? That may be a clue to why this is happing.

If it is caused by driving downhill, then I would first look into the float level being incorrect. If the level is too high, driving downhill could be causing gas to enter the engine through the float bowl vent.

You know chris's answer makes more scents then mine does. Good luck with your YJ.
