wont start again! more info inside
 
Last week i brought it away, totally lost on why my jeep wont start

I have fuel pressure, i have spark, i have everything i need to get going.

My jeep will not start at all. I turn the key...it will crank but wont fire

When i give my jeep gas while cranking..(like it had a carb) it will fire up and sputter. I have to "feather" the throttle for about 15 seconds and then it will stay running:dunno:

I will not fire with just turning the key, i have to give it gas for it to run

any ideas what it could be? Im at a loss

Once its running it will stay running and be fine until i shut it off

HELP

could be the temperature sensor. when it goes bad the PCM dos not know to choke the engine when cold.
