1990 Cherokee won’t run
I have a 1990 Jeep Cherokee with the 4.0. I have replaced the computer, icon,coil, and distributor. The jeep will start and barely run and it won’t stay running long enough for me to even move the thing. I can get it to rev up but it won’t stay running once I get off the gas. When I unplug the idle air control valve and the tps sensor it doesn’t affect the way the jeep runs what does this mean and what could be causing it?

Could be a faulty hose/pipe from the throttle body to intake manifold also.
Time to TEST things instead of firing the parts cannon at it.
We can guide you through the test procedures.
