wont start without throttle
hey y'all
recently my 2000 stock cherokee sport would have issues starting. it would crank forever and wouldn't kick over. I thought it might be the crankshaft position sensor but I still had spark to the vehicle and it turns out the sensor itself was running okay. fuel pressure is also good.
had a buddy try and troubleshoot with me and the car would start under light throttle (has to be held for a while or else it would die if I let go before the car gets warm). once on, it would idle very low at ~300rpms but would drive fine. went for a 30 minute drive in stop and go traffic, highway it ran really nice. would this be an issue with the sensors in my throttle body? it's all cleaned out: IAC*, TPS, and a new MAP sensor in there but i'm worried something might have died on me. any suggestions?
*is the pindle suppose to move in and out manually? the sleeve moves, but the whole pindle does not. could that be an issue?
edit: forgot to say, no codes
thanks!

good to hear thanks, thought i broke it. I'm going to replace it anyway and see if that's the issue, seems to be a common issue with people facing this problem
