Guys, I know there are quite a few threads dealing with stalling issues, but I haven't found one that will help me.
Vehicle Stats: 1999 XJ Classic, Bone Stock, 140,000 Miles. 4.0L
About 3 months ago, I started my jeep and it roared to life then immediately died. I tried it again, and each time it would turn over, run for 1-2 seconds, then the rpms would drop and it would stall. It would run if i drove with 2 feet (right foot feeding constant gas to keep it above 500 rpm) but the second i took my foot of the gas it would die again. The other jeep forum made me think it was my crank position sensor, so I swapped that out. It ran ok for about 3 months, then this saturday it started doing the same thing again. I tried unplugging, then reconnecting the CPS again and it ran ok, then died again the next time i tried to start it.
Any ideas?
Again, simplified version: It will start, then almost immediately die. When it runs, it runs fine.
Have NEW(ish, like in the last 6 months) spark wires, plugs, distributor cap, rotor, battery. The issues began separately from replacing these parts.
Thanks for the help and tips in advance.
