1999 Jeep Wrangler Sport
Jeep has been running great! However, last weekend I noticed that it began to start rough. I may have to turn the key twice and tap the accelerator. Once started I was good to go. This week after the rough start the motor is idling so low that when I put into drive or reverse to move it will stall. Now I start, idle by accelerating slightly for about 5 minutes and then I drive. Once I am driving the motor seems to run well...idling just about right.
I have heard that if the battery doesn't have a strong charge it could cause this. I also had a friend suggest that it could be the fuel filter. I am open to suggestions. Is the fuel filter servicable? (I don't think it is).
