hi i hope that someone can help me, im new to the forum and only been on once, this is my first cherokee jeep that i bought in feb mar this year and i love it and so does the wife, she,s the 1996 4.0 petrol auto ltd edition with full spec full service histery 82000. there has been no problems with her untill today ?.

the problem started with a flat battery, now the battery was renewed by my self when i bought her and everything has been fine, recharged the the battery and this is when things went odd, when you turn the key off the centre console screen that tells the time and when the next service is due stays on and then says two fog lights are out, which are all fine, if i turned the key to on and off sometimes it would shut the lights off but reset again, another few turns of the key would fix it but when started, it starts all over again, i tried this a few times thinking maybe a sticky relay. it then got worse, now when you start her you have got to put your foot on the gas as soon as you take your foot of the gas she dies,

please any help
regards rod

This is odd. i am wondering if all of these symtoms will lead to one problem. Or do you have multiple issues. Hopefully someone will help you out on this, i am not electrically smart
