I went out to my jeep this morning to find the door was left open, this is another issue in its self because i never do that, but basicaly the battery was dead. I hooked it up to the gf's tourus and tried to turn it over. The first time it almost caught but then sputered out. Now when i try, it cranks but will not turn over. Now if i open the thottle while cranking it, it will turn over, but i have to keep my foot on the peddle or the engine just dies. I have no idea how a dead battery would do this, im figuring its maybe a sensor or fuse. But im not too good when it comes to the electronics of engines so i thought i would see what you guys know before i take it to a shop.

pop the hood and look around for any loose connectors. it almost sounds like the engine isn't getting fuel and that some nice friend of yours might have disco'd an injector.

Yeah i got it going. I just disconected the battery for a minute, reconnected it, and it started right up. Mike told me sometimes the computer just gets screwed up when you let the battery die, i guess thats what it was. I was deff worried somone had screwed around with something through. I dont think i have any enemies....
