    Backfire through the intake,won't idle

    So, we took my wife's 97 tj to get groceries yesterday. When I started it after shopping it ran rough and backfired through the intake a couple of times, but then it straightened out and ran fine back home. Then this morning it started but wouldn't idle. She could keep it running by keeping it...

    Throttle body problems?

    Hi all. My wife's TJ has an occasional miss and sometimes a stall when its cold. Sometimes when she first starts it in the morning it will stall when she puts it in gear.

    PCM plug problem

    Recently my wife's TJ started to stall on her at random times. There didn't seem to be any traceable pattern to it. I read as many of the threads as I could find across most of the wrangler TJ forums and tried a few fixes like cleaning the idle air mixture solenoid, and replacing the TPS, but it...
