Yes, I did search, but found nothing with similar symptoms.
96 cherokee sport, 4x4, 4.0, aw4, cali emissions
Now, the last few weeks or maybe month, I have noticed sometimes the jeep wouldn't start on the first try, but always did on the 2nd. Maybe 1 out of 8 ttimes it did this. I attributed this to the loose nut behind the wheel letting go of the ignition switch too soon.
Now, today, go out to go to work and no start, turns over fine, but no start.
Jiggle the trans shifter, and even try in neutral. No help
Ok, go out under the hood and check the fuses/relays. Even move some around to see if it helped. No difference.
Checked the coil wires. Good
Now, get back in and just for grins, try to start it with the gas pedal depressed....and it starts. Runs a little rough, but does run. Will not run below 1000 rpm. OK, at least I can move it without manual labor.
Now, what would be the diagnosis...I am thinking either IAC or TPS (or both).
While I do have another jeep to use, this is my daily driver and I need to get it fixed quickly.
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated, especially if it solves the issue, since my work schedule makes working on it during the daytime hrs difficult.
