... as what would have caused this: I started up the Jeep, and left her idling while I went inside to get something. When I came back out, it had died, and would not restart. Thinking, maybe it had flooded??? I let it sit a few hours and tried again. No luck, no start. Just cranked and cranked. Let it sit a day, with the same results.

Took some starting fluid and sprayed a bit into the air intake after the filter, and she fired right up and has been running great since then.

Just left me wondering what happened????
