So it started with what seemed to be a dead battery. Jumped it and started then died. Jumped again while feathering the gas pedal and it started up and ran a little. Won't idle. She'll only run if you feather the gas pedal. Any ideas? Help? Stock 4.0 inline 6 Standard Cherokee(no cool packages) Yeahhhhh thank you guys

 

this litterally just happened to me a day or two ago...

crank it up.. and stay on the gas.. keep it reved up for a few minutes.. then slowly let it back down... when the batteries die.. the jeeps DO NOT want to stay started without the throttle down a bit..

i finally got it to idle.. then went to a parts house and swapped the batteries since it was on the fritz anyway... it was still acting like it wanted to die at stop lights... so i just two footed it the whole way...

 

So this problem is just due to the battery dying out?

 

sounds like it.. same exact problem I had...

charge your battery... or replace it..

 

had this problem on my 99, the terminals were really corroded. even up the wires. clean em real good, replacing the battery isnt a bad idea either
