This in in Non-tech becuase it is about my ZJ, however, since it is the same 4.0L I-6 as most of the XJs have, I would bet the answer would be the same if I posted it in OEM tech!
My 1996 ZJ starts right up, but then won't idle. It just automatially dies right away. I can start it up many times over and it just dies, so the starting isn't the issue.
I can drive it if I keep my foot on the gas and keep it about 1000 rpm or higher, all while using the left foot to operate the brake.
Not a great idea, but I did what I needed to in order to get home.
Any thoughts or ideas on why this would start and then refuse to idle? FWIW, I did change out plugs and wires, fuel filter, and transmission filter and fluid a couple hundred miles ago. This is the first issue I have had with it since the work. Truck has 201XXX on the clock.
Thanks!
