I have a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee and encountered a problem today. When I start my Jeep, it does not hold the idle and it shuts off. If I start it and give it gas or start driving, it will keep the idle. There were only two instances where I started it and didnt give it gas and it just puttered and the tach just jumped up and down and then finally stayed around 750. Has anyone else had this problem? I wondering if its maybe a bad plug or a vacuum leak of some sort? None of the codes on the dash have been set either. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

Might be the Idle Air Control motor starting to fail.

Which sensor is this, and where is it at? Mine does not stall, but seems to have a rough idle.

If you are looking at the throttle body, there are two sensors. One is to the right and the other one is on the back of the throttle body. Just unclip the sensor and then there are two bolts to remove. After you take it out, just clean it off. I just used an old t shirt and cleaned all the crap that was on it. Now it runs great. Here is another thread showing everything.
