This Jeep is a real pain sometimes! One problem after another!

At times the engine idles low. Some times it feels like its gonna stall out when I put it in park, and the RPM dropped real low last night when I was backing up into my drive way. A while back when I parked at a resturant it stalled out as soon as I put it in Park. Also, when starting it at times it smells like it was running rich or something. You can defiantly get a slight smell of gas. I'm not sure what it is.

Thanks for your help!
:JEEPIN:

It has two codes, but they're unrelated, and actually the light goes on and off at random intervals because of them. They refer to the transfer case sensor that needs to be replaced, and the radiator replay as well. Both getting done this weekend.

Have you tried anything?
Injector cleaner?
Seafoam treatment?
New Plugs?

Have you tried not wasting peoples time? Trolling is not needed.

Seafoam the engine, then change the plugs. What kind of plugs are you using.

JL's a troll? :ROTFL:

Lighten up a little! But, Ya, try seafoam, may have an injector or two beginning to restrict a little. Plugs will need to be changed again after seafoam too.
