This morning my car (2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee) wouldn't start. It would turn over fine, but it would fire. Once it did, I had to keep it idled up to get it going, and when I stopped at a stop sign, it would die. So my thoughts are either fuel system (specifically fuel filter, I have already tried injector cleaner) or electronics. What do you guys think? It has done this once before, over Christmas break, but fired up like a champ since then.

FUCK, ASS....

It's most likely in the fuel system, either the filter or the fuel pump. Fuel pumps are cheap so I would change that and see if it fixes the problem. If it doesn't then it is probably the fuel pump.

I would try the filter first because your fuel pump is most certainly in the tank which will mean you have to drain the gas tank and then remove it from the car, and will cost you between $100 and $200 to buy. Fuel filters are cheap and a lot easier to change.

Yeah I meant change the filter first because they are cheap. Fuel pumps are definitely NOT cheap. Sorry about that :oops:
