1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee turns over and starts but stalls in a few seconds ?
I have a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee that turns over and will usually NOT start but every few tries it starts, runs very rough and then dies. It usually starts with no foot on the gas. As soon as I hit the gas pedal, it dies. It also dies after it idles for about 5 seconds without touching the gas.
I just replaced (today) the plugs (gapped correctly), wires, cap and rotor. It did not help. I'm thinking maybe a bad fuel filter but someone said the cat converter could be plugged.
Any ideas?

Definitely Fuel related I would check the filter, the relay and the pump I have owned (and still do) a LOT of jeeps and this model Cherokee is one of my favorites. It will still start fine with a plugged converter but you will not be able to get more than 2600 rpm out of it.

i'm guessing which you in all probability have a rock caught in there, attempt using the Jeep backwards for somewhat, and on a similar time prepare brakes. this could dislodge it. (while doing this the grinding could look to get worst first till now it gets greater effective)appears like small problem.
