Help please
hi i have a 96 GC w/ 4.0 auto
about two months ago my GC took a dump on me...
i was driving down highway and idler pulley flew off, busted a hose so coolant everywhere, well today i finally replaced hose belt and pulley and everything was perfect it started right up like nothing ever happened
then i decided to take a test drive just to check it out... well as soon as i put it in drive the idle got real rough but when i would push the gas it ran normal... i stopped at a stop sign and my jeep stalled.... any ideas what may be the issues? i dont know what all info is needed but if u need more info to help me please ask

You're lucky it didnt punch a hole in your radiator. I would look at the Idle Air Control valve first. Try cleaning it with throttle body cleaner first then try it again.
