So i tried shutting down the engine going down hills in my 95 Jeep wrangler. Got plenty of steering and brakes but upon starting up the engine went wild. Coughed and raced like crazy. No gas savings there. Any ideas why this happened?
I also tried popping the clutch to start it and bucked in an ugly way before smoothing out.
