Okay so last time i took my jeep out i pulled it off the trailer and it ran just fine, i shut it off then we got ready to go play and it wouldnt even start. Another guy there said he had the same problem at one time and he unplugged the map sensor told me to pump it as fast as i can and got it to start and he plugged it back in but it just ran like crap for acouple minutes then ran decent but the same thing kept happening all day. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

^^^lmao...
Are you attempting to say the map sensor that you used while it was having issues was a different one that you got from someone?
Would you explain why you replaced it in the first place? I have a feeling its a vacuum issue.

to start the day i had the map sensor that the guy gave me when i was having the problem. I then decided to put the old one back on and it still did it. I put a new one on because awhile ago i was having problems and he gave me it, which was from a junk yard, its a long story of why he did.

Yep. You've got it figured out. That's why you do preventative things. So then, when you wanna go play the risk of failure is greatly reduced. Click on the "pink link" in my signature and get after it.
