i have an 88 wrangler yj, 4.2 L, 6 cyl. when driving down a hill to a stop sign, when the clutch is in the rpms drop real low and the car eventually turns off. i dont know if the downhill thing is important but that seems to be the only time it happens. any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
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.
