96 Cherokee Ignition Help
Hi folk, brand new here. I need some help with my 96 Cherokee. Just started a couple days ago. It will randomly stall out at low speed 9pulling in and out of parking spots). Also radomly will act like the battery is dead when I go to start it, but a jump starts it automatically and when I put it on the charger, battery showed full charge. Seems like there is some type of short in the ignition system that for some reason a jump start clears. Has not to this point stalled when i am actually on the accelerator, only at an idle. Also when I start it with a jump, it doesn't idle well until I rev it a few times.

Are the battery terminals and connectors shiny, clean and tight? Booster/jumper works because it bites into the cable connectors directly.
If it stalls only with your foot off the accelerator, check the idle air control valve in the throttlebody. Might be sticking...they tend to collect crud. Carb cleaner works OK to clean them up.
