No Idle

[TJSUPE]

So since Sunday my jeep wont hold an idle everyonce in a while when I start it. It will start then just shut off. AFter starting it a few times it goes back to normal then maybe a day or two later it will happen again. Any ideas on what to check out?? This morning its just clicked rapidly when trying to trun it over then it finally started. Not sure if its the starter maybe? I havent switched anything out yet. Hoping to get some ideas first....

Almost sound like you picked up some water in your fuel. I'd pick up a can of fuel drier just in case.

When you say it 'clicked', you mean the starter wouldn't engage? How are your battery connections, and battery condition?

Talked to Chris and Blaine- They are working together today. If you dont understand my post, you can call them

They said to get a good battery, check your connections and positive negative battery terminals. Trace you wires back and make sure your wires are tight and not corroded.

How long has this been happening?

It started happening Sunday Morning on the way to the trail head. After it happend a few times it got better. Then it happend again last night once and this morning on first start up. I will check up on the connections and wires. I know my connection could probably be cleaned off.

This has all been on the same tank of gas. I will try the gas drier too.
Its time for me to do a all around tune up too. I think I will take the time this weekend to take care off everything..
Thanks!
