1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler: Stalled while driving and will not restart

Sun, 24 Jul 2022 09:41:16 -0700

I was drinking my 97 Jeep TJ se between 30-40 mph and it stalled very suddenly. I tried to restart it with no luck. Nothing was leaking and the dash lights, headlights, stereo all stay on strong.

When I try to start everything sounds right. I'm getting electric, no rapid clicking noise. The engine is turning but will not fire and turn over.

1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler: I have a flooded spark plug after a compete tune-up.

Mon, 23 Mar 2020 20:16:50 -0700

I recently bought a ‘98 Wrangler, noticed it was running a little rough and so replaced the spark plugs, wires, and distributer cap. Noticed one of the plugs was flooded with fuel. 50 miles later, now the new plug in the same spot is flooded as well. No smoke, just a crappy start with the flooded plug. What could be causing the flood? 2.5l 4cyl engine.

My Jeep Wrangler likes to start up and will stay at 1,000 rpms for a while but when I put it into gear it stalls out. Also when I’m driving it will sometimes stall out. I have no idea what to do!

1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler: 1997 Jeep Wrangler 4 Cylinder - High Idle Carburetor

Sun, 31 May 2020 05:47:19 -0700

First cleaned carburetor throat, linkage and area with carburetor and throttle cleaner. Did not help the High Idle.

Took to a mechanic. They replaced the Idle Air Control Valve by mechanic . They hooked to computer and checked codes. Re set. Mechanic supposedly checked all vacuum hoses for leaks, none found! $$$$ Still idles fast!!

I replaced the Throttle Control Sensor - still high idle!! More $$

Does idle normally at about 800 rpm’s for a minute, then after short time jumps up to 1600 rpm’s . Will not return to normal idle. Throttle control returns to stop and cable not sticking or hanging up. If you shut off Jeep for a while and restart it will idle normally for a minute then high again.

Help!! Any suggestions on fix?
