engine problems

AOk so I go home this morning and my jeep dies so I think battery wasent getting enough energy so I started it back up and know problem now when I start it, it will turn over but won't stay running. I sat and kept my foot on the pedal for awhile with out letting it die after 5 or so mins idling it stayed running but its ideling like it wants to die. Got any idea what it can be

Is everything else working normally?

Yea

Start simple fule system filter/pump injectors?

Sounds to me like the idle air control motor (IAC) is sticking. Get some throttle body/ carb cleaner, and clean the throttle body... pull the IAC off and clean off the pintle inside. These get all gunked up and start sticking. With the weather change it should be idleing higher now (IAC in a different spot) and the gook is holding it back. If it runs down the road ok this is probably the problem. Remember this is a guess, and you do get what you pay for. Carb cleaner is cheap though and this should be done every once in a while anyway. good luck and let us know what you find.

my vote as well, carb cleaner and a tooth brush,
