My jimmy will start and idle just fine however when I start to drive it,it sputters and spits then stalls out. when I restart it I have to floor it to get it to start again. if I rev it to about 6-8000 rpms and can keep i t running it will sputter and spit alot. then it will drive fine for the most part.

idle air control valve probably not working to supply enough air for idle speed during start up

Hi, I am guessing this is petrol engine: in which case you need to remove & clean all the jets inside the carburetter.
If it is Diesel one of the injectors is faulty & needs replacing. Please leave me feed back: Malcolm Campbell, Thanks.

Cat will have to be change, It is plug up.

oil sending nit is bad..works the oil pump

You might check your fuel filter and hoses..could also might need carberator adjustment?

This could be a blockage in the carburator,try to clean it, especially the valves. There is a specific spray for the job on the market. You might need to dismantle it.

check rotor button in distributor see if its black in the center ,same with dist cap worn center electrode

good chance one of your fuel injectors is fouled or not working, it will also cause computer not to lock torq converter. usual culpret is cyliner #6

I have the same problem on my 95 grand cherokee laredo. Sometimes it starts out fine and after about 10 miles it starts spitting and sputtering. Then after a while it seems to clean out and run fine again for a little while. Then other times it starts out spitting and sputtering at the begining. I changed the fuel filter and that was not it. It is a 4.0L 6cyc. Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Broken Arrow, OK

Engine light could be from the spitting and sputtering, sounds to me like maybe bad spark plug wires, possible an ecm issue, what kinda code is it giving you when the engine light comes on?
