Follow the link Bill: http://www.itwdelpro.com/battery.html
There are diagrams of how it works. There is more to it than just the pointy
plastic rod.

Chuck: Have you checked the pressure on the fuel rail? You may be running
high which would cause you to run over rich until you warmed up. The
Regulator is vacuum operated and may be leaking.

Re: Jeep Engine Stalls Just After Startup
Yes.
If you have cranking issues or starting while cranking issues, then the
battery or main ground cable are suspect.

You can take a multimeter and check the TPS out for electrical dead
spots. Put the meter on it set to ohms and with the TPS unplugged and
engine off run it to full throttle by hand watching the resistance on
the meter. If it gets jumpy or drops to 0, you have internal contact
issues. Could be dirt or rust.
