My Jeep has a mind of it's own, and some other stuff too.
 
Well firstly today after shutting my Jeep off in the garage I was pretty surprised to say the least since it started itself right back up again as if it had a mind of it's own, now maybe like half the time I shut it off it does this. I think it's a glitch with my remote car starter, cant think of what else would cause it. I'll take it out tomorrow and see if that works, i rarely use it anyways, hopefully that works because if not im at a total loss.

Also not sure if this is really a issue but w/e, it's kind of wimpy when you start it up, like it used to rev up to like 2000 rpms right after you start it, and now it just suddenly started to like only rev out to like 400 and it idle's kinda crappy and low for a few seconds. Throttle body is brand new, ran some kerosene through it maybe 3000 miles ago to clean the injectors. I dont think anything should be clogged.

Absolutely no idea how to troubleshoot that, not throwing any codes or anything. I haven't had a chance to drive more than like half a mile from my house it since my inspection is like 3 month's overdue but it doesn't seem to drive funny in the driveway.

Christine reen-car-nated as a Jeep?







Yes, I went there and made a bad pun. Sue me.

t5he restarting on its own is the remote start i just watched a van burn to the ground because the remote start did the same thing but didn't shut down and over heated causing a fire i would unhook it asap that should solve that problem as for the idle mine does that sometimes but not sure why im told it is the tps going bad but i haven't had it tested yet
