My wife just bought a 2000 model last Monday with 165k. Drove it home 300 miles, no problem. Next day when leaving work, it started stalling out at every stop light or stop sign. I started it last night when I got home and it seemed fine but will drive it this morning and see what happens. Any ideas? IAC or TPS?

Good place to start, however it may also be a fuel filter. If the Jeep may have sat for a bit there could be sediment in the tank that got sucked up. When you have your foot on the gas there is enough pressure to push the gas through but not enough at idle.

Thanks, I'll check the filter too.

I'm thinking IAC. My buddy bought an xj that I took home to fix up for him and his IAC was shot.

I took my IAC off and ohmed it. Checked out OK. Cleaned the IAC and reinstalled it. I did manage to stay idling but was low around 450rpm. Took the Jeep to my buddies shop and he put his scanner on it and found no codes but did idle it up through the scanner and has stayed there. So far so good.
