My 1996 jeep Cherokee sport has a hard time starting unless u push down the gas pedal. Me and my dad have been having trouble with it since we bought it, the check engine light is on, but not for long, it monentarily comes on and then shuts off for a few days. and when it is on the jeep is hard trouble starting. we origionally thought it was the TPS, but it turned out that wasnt the problem. Autozone said it may be the Temp. Sensor. any thoughts?
The Engine coolant temp sensor would ABSOLUTELY cause a hard start, but don't guess get the codes check again at Auto_Zone to make sure. Another cause of that kind of hard start is a dirty throttle body/ intake manifold. Use INTAKE cleaner and a rag clean the intake esp[eciall in the throttle body area. Good Luck
