This just started happening to me a couple of days ago when it was wet outside so I figured it might be the moisture causing it. It cleared itself up. But then today, being dry outside, and after cranking up just fine all day, I got in my Jeep and tried to crank. It cranked fast but was a continuous crank. I had to give it gas for it to finally start. Any suggestions or recommendations?

 

Check fuel pressure at the fuel rail yet?

 

Not yet but it is on my "to-do" list, any other items I should check?

 

If you had to "give it gas" before it would start, you should take a look at your TPS.

 

TPS would also be my first guess, easy to check with an analog multimeter. I'm on my phone or I'd post a writeup.

Is it correct to say that once the Jeep starts you don't need to keep your foot on the gas?

 

salad, yes, after it starts it's fine after this and it drives perfect.
