95 ZJ Two symptoms, what's the problem?
1995 ZJ with 4.0 and auto, about 120,000 miles, well maintained.
Driving from East Coast it stalled twice at idle. Driving into the
Rocky Mountains have little power above 8000 feet. No check engine
light, etc.
Any thoughts?

Just the basics.
- spark (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and possibly coil or distributor)
- fuel (filter)
High altitude will rob power. And you will feel a loss at 8000 ft
but it shouldn't be too weak. When you go to altitude your better off
using a lower octane fuel because the higher octane won't ignite as
easily with the lower compression. Combine that with a weak spark
and your going to go nowhere fast, except downhill in neutral that is. :)
Cleaned the throttle body lately?

Not sure if the 95 can pull codes but cycle the key
on-off-on-off-on (on, not start)
then count the CHECK ENGINE light blinks, they come in pairs.
i.e. BLINK ... BLINK BLINK is 12

Bad gas, dirty air filter, go back to sea level.
Seriously, at 8000 ft you will have lost over a third of your
theoretical power (pushing 50% trying to top Vail Pass). I start at
6000+ and still notice the drop in power as I cross the Continental
Divide - but having flown light aircraft in the mountains I'm a lot
more aware of the effect than most people. Now consider the grades
you are encountering and you can really feel it. Heck, I notice the
difference when I drive down to the Texas coast and back up. After
Raton Pass I fell like I should put my foot out and push going up
hill.
If you lived up here and replaced the CPS, the dealer would give you
one that advances the base timing by several degrees. Given the stall
at idle, it could also be either a bad TPS or (more commonly) a dirty
connector on the TPS that was giving a bad reading at idle and/or WOT.
Just to give you a better feel for the effect of altitude: light a/c,
normally aspirated - even with fuel injection - pretty much reach
their service ceiling at about 14000 or so.
