So after a short drive this weekend, the wife parked the Jeep in the shop. With the lights on. For a full day before I found it. I charged the battery (Red top, not sure when it was purchased), got it started, drove it and let it run for a good half hour. Restarted and idled fine, no issues. Two days after that, it's dead again. Charged it again, but it won't start. Fuel pump primes, but it doesn't fire up unless you mat the throttle. Once it's running, it won't idle on it's own either. Exhaust smells super rich, which I'm guessing is because it's still operating in open loop and I'm feeding it gas to keep it running. No check engine lights, but I didn't have time to hook up my code scanner last night to go any deeper.
All that to ask if anyone else has had to keep their foot in it to get it to idle after dealing with a dead battery?
