Well I got the water pump, hoses and thermostat changed in about 3 hours. I had to jump it off and it ran fine for awhile until I shut it off. Then I added some more coolant and went back to start it and it started and then died immediately. Pressing the gas pedal will keep it running until I let off and then it just dies. I had the battery unplugged, so maybe it could be a security issue? If so, then how did it start up and run fine the first time?

Well I disconnected the battery again for about 5 minutes to reset the computer incase it was something security related. It seems to run fine now with no hint of stalling! Crazy ZJs...

Been there, we have some picky bitches for vehicles. Everyting I reset the ECU it acts differently until it relearns.

Yea, when I test drove it, the shift points seemed to be alot higher. Certainly a cranky bitch if you ask me. BUT, no coolant leaks! :smt025
