98 Cherokee Laredo
My girlfriend has recently purchased a 98 jeep, and has had a few issues, one of which was fixed (a leaking fuel line) and the other I thought had been fixed until tonight. Basically the jeep will start the engine sounds good then it sputters and dies and refuses to start again for a few minutes, then it will start and stop again and then finally start up and go. I am unfortunately not very savvy with engines or issues like this, and I have no idea what the problem is, if anyone could help with possible problems or answers to those problems I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
J

It literally just left the mechanics a few days ago and seemed to be running fine no stalls no issues. And then colder weather hit and now its acting up again...
