My 1999 Jeep Sahara will start just fine, but will sometimes surge during warmup. Then after it warms up, runs fine. However, sometimes, if I turn it off, then restart alittle later, it does not want to start. I know Im not supposed to pump it, but it seems to be the only way it will start. Then, it wont idle, and keeps dying. It will eventually run good if I keep it reved alittle.

Due to the age of your jeep, You need to replace the fuel pump and filter along with replacing the water pump and thermostat as well as coolant temp sensor. Fuel supply and coolant flow and temp sensing is critical to Cold start (open loop) and warm up (closed loop) Idle function and fuel mapping. Change the air filter too.

Sounds like the idle air control valve...buy a repair manuel and it will walk you through the steps to change it...it's not hard.

SOURCE: 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee stalls immediately after

check intake manifold air temp sensor and engine coolant sensor...one may be out of range but not enough to turn on dash light. tests and specs can be found in chiltons or haynes, test is done with digital multi-meter.

I've a 1981 Vette that idles very rough with a cold engine start.

You need to have the choke adjusted so it runs on a fast idle so the engine can warm up or you may need the carb to be rebuild and adjusted properly.

1999 TJ Wrangler/Sah runs rough after warm

we have the same problem on our 2004 dakota. The mechanic says that it could be the exhaust vacuum that needs to be replaced. Also, they also mentioned that sometimes when the catalytic converter is plugged it acts that way also.

Let me know if this helps.

Engine surges when cold - Once it warms up it runs fine

If carburated, I would suspect a sticking choke, making the fuel mix way too rich.
