1994 Jeep Wrangler hard to keep running

1994 Jeep Wrangler Starts out fine idles great for a minute then in begins to die no matter how much gas you pump. Sunddenly will go into high idle momentarily and the process will reapeat again. If left alone will do the same a few times and then die. Could be a gas filter but have no idea where it is or the fuel pump but maybe it is something a lot simpler than that, Help!

The fuel pump is located in the gas tank and the filter is right in front of the tank on the inside of the frame. I have never worked on that particular throttle body, but if it has a throttle position sensor, that could be what your problem is.

I have a 1997 2.5 jeep wrangler.when you first start the engine it runs and sounds fine, then after about 20 seconds it begins to have a knocking sound only at idle. when you press the gas you cant hear...

It may be piston slap. This is caused by either engine wear with the piston bores being too large for the pistons, or by poor manufacturing tolerances, or a combination of both.

To test for this, start the engine up first thing in the morning and run it for about thirty seconds while you listen carefully and memorise the sound and intensity. Turn the engine off quickly, remove the spark plugs and put two squirts of motor oil into each cylinder. Reinstall the plugs, start the engine up again and listen. If you have piston slap the noise will have been greatly reduced or even eliminated for about thirty seconds seconds and then returns.

The fix is to rebuild or replace the engine, but if it works just fine then don't worry. Many slappy engines keep going for tens of thousands more mile. The fact that your knocking is only at idle suggests your crankshaft is not to blame.

Jeep starts sluggish and then wants to die

It is most likely from that actually. You may need to adjust the air / fuel mixture after modding the intake. Sounds like its getting too much air.

1994 Jeep Wrangler starts fine runs for a few minutes then dies.

I'm not sure if your Jeep has this or not, but you could check with your local Chrysler dealership. Some vehicles have a sock filter in the gas tank to filter any debris before it is delivered to the engine. What sometimes will happen is, you vehicle will start and run until debris clogs the sock filter and it will die. After the vacuum on the fuel line is gone the debris will fall free from the sock filter back to the bottom of the gas tank. Then when you restart the vehicle it picks up the debris again and clogs you filter again. This happen to me once and I have to remove the tank and clean the debris out and install a new sock filter. Good luck.
