Replying to: sarge836 (Mar 03, 2009 11:53 am) The throttle position sensor (TPS) is used as input to the electronic control unit (ECU) which adjusts things like ignition timing and fuel injection. It may be worth a look to see whether that is the problem.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: sarge836 (Mar 04, 2009 3:48 pm) tidester (Mar 04, 2009 4:13 pm) sarge836 (Mar 05, 2009 4:16 am)

Replying to: tidester (Mar 03, 2009 2:17 pm) Tidester, Well changed it all to include the TPS none of that but I did fix it.   I couldn't believe it, about 4 years ago had the same issue but thought this was for the engine to fire. It was the ballast resistor (ceramic piece) mounted to the side of the engine compartment that just has two wires going to it. What I did was just take off a bunch of parts at the junk yard. Earlier I was on Auto Zone website just going over the trouble shooting for "stalling" it did mention that like 20 possibilities down the line. I didn't think anything of it but grabbed it at the last min. Well I was all pissed off after nothing worked and tossed a wrench in my tool bag and noticed that "ballast resistor" or ceramic piece and just plugged it in. Jeep ran like a charm after that.??? Thanks for all your help...Jeff Replies to this message: tidester (Mar 04, 2009 4:13 pm) sarge836 (Mar 05, 2009 4:16 am)

Replying to: sarge836 (Mar 04, 2009 3:48 pm) Thanks for letting us know. I'm glad you got it fixed. I would never have thought of that!   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: sarge836 (Mar 05, 2009 4:16 am)

Replying to: tidester (Mar 04, 2009 4:13 pm) Me either, thought that was just something to do with the ignition and firing. Something to think about if anyone else has this issue. 5.00 part and 1 week of trouble shooting. Actually runs better now too that I changed basically everything else., Have a good day...Jeff

On start up jeep wont start, engine just turns over.wait for several minutes then hear ticking noise from" fuel pump" and "auto shut off" relays.once ticking stops, jeep will start and run just fine.would the pressure regulator cause the delay of solenoid activating ?started with just 1-2 min. delay now is 15+ min. delay for the pump to kick on.I have changed both relays.

Replying to: zs711 (Mar 05, 2009 6:17 am) Could be an issue with your fuel pump, but check and see if you have a "white ceramic ballaster" mounted on the right side of the engine compartment, could be on the left, there will be two wires going to it, located on the ends of the ceramic piece. This controls voltage with the fuel system on my jeep and that is what the issue was. If you have one, just jump the two wires together to test it and if everything is fine then you will need to replace it right away. Also like you said could be the fuel pressure regulator but check the easy stuff first. Well they are both easy to change.

Replying to: sarge836 (Mar 03, 2009 11:53 am) make sure that you have your fuel pressure regulator installed correctly with both the large and small o rings and adjusted to the right torque.. i had the same problem and the regulator i got from auto zone was missing the smaller o ring causing the fuel pressure to drop and all the fuel drop back into the tank.

#492 of 590 1998 JGC won't stay running by bradsdad304 Mar 12, 2009 (10:07 am)
I have a 1998 JGC that was running fine until yesterday. When I tried to start it in the morning the battery was dead so i jumped it with my other car and it started right up, buy as soon as I take my foot off the gas it dies. It will not idle at all. I don't know anything about cars and am hoping someone here will be able to help me figure this out. Oh yeah , it is a 6 cylinder 4X4
