Check your iac and tps. Turn key to on without starting the motor then off 3 xs then on and keep it on. The cel will turn off then blink. Count the blinks and that is your code.

I had a problem with it idling, mine would not idle at all sometimes at start, would have to sit with the gas pedal partly pushed in, it would stall sometimes at low speeds at "idle" as well. replaced the battery on mine, solved the problem. Apparently the computer also "learns" the proper idle so if you've recently run the battery completely dead this could be a problem as it will have "forgotten" how to idle properly

Your map sensor is on the firewall near the back of your valve cover. Your tps is mounted on the side of your throttle body.

Do you have a manual for your truck? I would say get a book and it says everything about them. Its just better if you can have the book out at the jeep with you. If not let me know
