Default 97 4.0 pedal floored to start.

The truck has been acting up lately. The fuel gauge has a mind if it's own. Usually reads completely empty, sometime half a tank, regardless if I have a full tank. Put a new ps pump in it today, and then it wouldn't start. To start it, I have to hold the pedal to the floor, and if I don't give it a little throttle it will stall out. Doesn't hesitate or run rough though. The cel came on though. Haven't been able to hook a scan to it yet though. I'm thinking it's a coincidence with the ps pump, and I'm having a funny fuel pump issue. Anyone have any thoughts before I take a look tomorow?

its cause you ride a Suzuki,....(judging my your name ) just kidding,..

I'd get the the jeep scanned and see what code you have, and possibly a fuel pressure gauge to see what your fuel is doing(leaking back into the tank, through the regulator, injectors, not producing enough pressure, etc)

IAC valve and a throttle body cleaning, it's running like a champ again!
