i have a 2000 jeep cherokee and ive had it for almost 2 years. it has always started even all last winter i had no problems. i didnt drive my car for two days and it has been really cold i went to start it and it wouldnt it sounds like it wants to but it just wont!!! its not the battery cause everything works and i tried to get a jump but that didnt work either when i go to start my car if i hit the gas it will start but it wont stay idle as soon as i take my foot off the gas my car goes dead i really dont want to take it anywhere cause im always fighting with this jeep ive heard from a few people i should try using dry gas??? do you think this is my problem?? HELP PLEASE

She's a girl, what does she know..

How old is the gas in the tank. Dry Gas might help.. But it just might be had gas.

OOOHH ah uh, john! BTW, you're just a yankee!

I was thinking more iac problem. I see a lot of them here, iac gets carbon build up, wont idle, wont set a light...so on and so fourth.
