Ok, so I've got a strange problem that I can't figure out. When my Jeep is cold, and especially when it is wet outside, I have a real hard time getting the Jeep to start. The only way I can get it to start is if the Jeep is at WOT. When it does start the RPM's will sit at about 2000 for a few seconds, then drop down to normal. When the Jeep is still cold, if I give it just a little bit of gas it acts like the engine is bogging down and the engine will die. Then I will have to floor it again to get it to start. Also I've been having trouble with the temperature sensor. It will randomly drop out and go to zero, then after anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, the temp sensor will come back and the guage will jump from 0 to 210. While the temp sensor is out the Jeep will run terribly, and bog down with the slightest amout of gas. Then, the other night after I got home from a 2 hour drive, I shut off the engine and went to start it again and I could not get it to run. I could get it to start, but as soon as the RPM's dropped to 1000 the engine would die. I let it sit over night and the next morning I went to start it and it started right up. It was raining that night, and I'm wondering if the water had something to do with it, but then again the engine will have this starting problem. I don't know if this is an IAC problem, or maybe a faulty fuel pump? Or could it all be related to the temp. sensor?
