I have recently had the sending unit replaced on the J and the problem did not start until afterwards. Now, when i crank it up for the first time in the day, It idles really low and almost fights to stay running. If I really hit the gas, when the idel comes back down, it will stall. Would the Sending unit have something to do with this? After about 15 mins of driving it seams better. Any help is a good.

Thanks for the quick response Wess.. btw I heard you come highly recommended : Anyway, I actualy solved the issue today. Just took a good look-around underneath the hood and what looked to me like a vacuum hoes disconnected..( i'm not the most mechanical guy in the world ) .. but after that the J was fine.

But now, I know I have the Headlight "Relay" issue that I've read about so many times on this site, but my "Seatbelt" and "Open Door" warning light pop on randomly..could this all be tied in with the relay issue?

Once again, Thanks for the speedy response, I'm sure as a J lover you senced the urgency in my situation.

BTW ... Know where I can find a Fuse box Diagram???
