96 Jeep kills if I don't keep foot on gas pedal after a cold start
 

I have a 96 Jeep Grd Cherokee Laredo, 4.0 6, recently when I go to start it
inthe mornings on my to work, it won't start, or maitain an idle unless I
keep my foot on the gas. I have to keep my foot on the gas pedal, and brake
at the same time to put it in gear, or else it shuts off. Ther is no Ck Eng.
light on. I have chgd the distributor, I keep gas treatment, and use fuel
injection cleaners regularly. I don't want to spend an arm and leg on
repairs that don't fix the specific poblem. Can anyone help??

On the XJ 4.0L there is a idle motor and that along with the throttle body
might need cleaned.

I neglected to take any pix during the cleaning.. <sigh>
GumOut Jet Spray and an old toothbrush cleaned it right up.
