2000 TJ stalling
My 2000 TJ with 150k miles recently started stalling after I come to a
stop, as if the idle speed is way too low. It seems to run okay otherwise. It's intermittent, the check engine light is not on and it's not throwing any codes. One time I disconnected the battery for a while when it was stalling in the driveway and when I reconnected the battery the idle speed went back to normal. I sprayed contact cleaner on the connectors for the TPS and some of the other devices by the throttle body and I've replaced the battery, and it's still stalling. Next step is to clean the throttle body - any suggestions on what to check out after that? Thanks, John |

They get carboned up after a while and need to be cleaned. |

Started right up and settled to a normal idle and stayed there. Time will tell but I think this problem is fixed... Thanks! |
