I got to Panama again, and my Jeep has a new symptom; if I am sitting letting it idle, and (in neutral) I floor the accelarator, it stuters (sp?) a bit and then revs... It feels like there is too much fuel for the ignition or something, but then it catches on. This will also happen if I floor it on a gear from low RPMs. Any idea what this could be?

maybe FPR/fuel pump, map, tps, o2
i don't think it's ignition since you said you changed (if i remember correctly) pretty much everything after the engine washing incident.

Why are you going WOT from an idle in neutral?
Sounds normal. You've dumping a bunch of fuel into the engine before it's able to spin up. Do that on a carbed engine and you'll usually get the same thing.

it shouldn't stutter (at least i don't recall having that issue) - first thought FPR, i'm thinking it doesn't reduce the pressure at idle it won't give the extra boost of fuel when suddenly open the throttle, not sure though

There will be a slight delay and usually a slight drop in RPM before it revs up.

The I guess it's NOT acting weird...

I'd gonna guess it's almost like when you're about to stall it and the PCM catches it and revs the engine to 1000 RPM.

Well, the issue got worse, and all of the sudden, I got a code. It seems that the TPS plug wiggled itself loose (the safety clip broke some time ago), and this is what was causing the problem. I actually got scared that the Jeep was breaking down on me, and I would not be able to drive it to Costa Rica, but it was a simple fix (plug the connector back in), so I guess I am still taking the drive...
I think I will use some electrical tape to tape the connector in place and avoid this from happening again.

use a drop of rtv on the connector plastic part that goes in the tps sensor - that should keep it in place.

hot glue gun can fix that.. or atlaest that's what they do with computers at some places..
