rough idle 97 TJ
Ok so this morning i was tracking down an overheating problem with my
jeep in idle. Turns out the problem was a clogged radiator. Anyways so
I ran the jeep about 30 minutes in idle to assure myself that it
wasn't overheating any more. At that point it was running fine. About
1/2 hour later, I started my Jeep again and it ran really really
rough. It didnt stall, but the RPMs were going up and down in idle. It
was acting really weird. I went to the parts store and bout Seafoam,
and filled up my gas tank, but the problem still persisits.

Probably need a TPS. Mine went bad and it wouldn't idle.
