Cleaning the throttle bore will make a vast improvment,and to agree totaly with jeepjeepster,I'm bettin' on the "Idle Air Control"being dirty or a bad sensor.
Also...don't forget to look for vacum leaks.

My KJ has stalled out while coming to a stop and going around corners several times lately. It happens while slowing down to almost a stop, push in the clutch, and it just dies. Very weird. A few times i was rolling fast enough just to "pop" the clutch and keep going, but others I had to restart the Jeep. No check engine or codes. When I restart the Jeep idles fine. Any ideas would be great. |

Any ideas would be great. I have a similar issue but it doesn't happen often nor does it cause me to stall... but my jeep appears to normally idle around ~750 but sometimes when I push the clutch in the idle drops to ~450 for a few seconds then it comes right up. I usually notice it during one of the first few stops I make before the engine heats up fully... |

Could be a dirty throttle body or IAC sensor.. |

Jim, just move back to Denver and all will be okay. Your KJ is just mad at you for leaving. |

Could it be a vacum leak somewhere? I had an old Jeep Wagoneer that used to do that and I had to replace break booster, it was something to do with vacum leak. Its been too long ago and I am not sure but thats just an idea. |

I had the same issue in a manual XJ, turned out to be a loose MAP sensor. |

Ran a can of Seafoam through the gas tank and no more stalling issues. I guess this stuff is not just hype. I will also do the vacume line thingy before I change my oil next time. |

Pretty much any autoparts store should carry SeaFoam. |
