Engine Performance problem
1985 Jeep CJ7 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 155.00 miles

My Jeep stalls all the time, when it is idleing. If I give it a little gas, it will stay running, but as soon as I let up on the gas peddle, the engine RPM drops slowly and the engine starts to miss, and then stalls. It starts right back up and runs great, but just won't idle. Also, when I first start the engine, of the day. The engine idles fine, like the choke is working, but about a minute or two, I can tell the choke drops off and then, it won't idle, unless I give is some gas with the gas peddle. I like this system that you all have here and if this fixes my Jeep, I will be using this system all the time. I have worked a lot of engines, but as we know, they all have there little quarks. Ok thank you. RON

Test the coolant temperature sensor/idle air control valve/motor, throttle position sensor to include the PCV and EGR valves also look for vacuum leaks
