As stated, we own a new to us 2000 jeep wrangler sahara edition. Just in the past week it has been giving me some issues I will try to elaborate on:
When starting after sitting for a night, it would crank a few times before Turning over. Sometimes no issues would follow. Most times after starting it would idle between 500 and 1000 rpms stuttering and shivering until I gave it more gas .
Today i started it this am, and drove it right off. At noon, I went to start it, it turned over, and idled so low it cut off, making an odd noise I can't describe (kind of like a clunk under the hood) before cutting off completely.
I started it again, and it was still idling low. I drove a ways down the street, and, shifted to 2nd gear, turned down a street, shifted a few more times (don't think I got past 3rd gear) and while driving it made a similar clunk sound, and I thought it had cut off again as the check engine light was on.
I coasted to the side of the road, attempting to restart while doing so, and finding out it had not cut off.
Wen I came to a complete stop, it did.
Restart engine, idles funny- shuddering badly when accelerating, and hardly any forward momentum. Second gear, same thing. Third, same.
Limped back home with hazards on, and have no idea what the cause could be.
Mac23 I'm looking for a good answer from you as you seem to have great Q&A with a lot of users here.

Let me start without any implied criticism by clarifying a couple of the expressions you used, cranking and turning over, which ae usually used to mean the same thing..
Perhaps these will explain it best: "I turned the the key and it wouldn't even crank, I just heard a click from the starter", and "The starter cranked ok, but although it was turning over without a problem it just wouldn't fire up".
Couple of questions, has the Check Engine Light come on, have you checked for codes, and has the battery recently gone flat?
AN EDIT It is also possible that in the initial clutch change, the installer bent the flywheel causing it to be out of balance, or knocked one of the welded on balance weights off... In short it IS a service induced issue, a good dealer would claim ownership of the issue instead of just scratching his butt.
Or if you want to do it yourself; it should be located behind the glove compartment. Open the glove compartment, prop it up and out. Fuses should be clearly marked. Pull the dome/door light fuse and save it for when you are ready to put the doors back on. Enjoy your summer!!

When my TPS went bad, Autozone diagnosed it with their machine. No special reader from the dealer required.

I took it to Autozone, they are the one's who told me it was a dealer code and they could not diagnose it. So if they diagnosed your problem, I'm thinking mine must be something else. Thank you for the suggestion, however.
he too, tried and couldn't get it... says he thinks a fork inside the transfer case is bent.
i'm not broke, but i'm badly bent... what kind of repair price am i looking at? i don't have to use granny low, 4X4 high works fine... but i hate to have something that doesn't work right...
sooo... how long am i going to have to save up for this job?
Basically the bulletin describes how to bypass several wires in the Power Distribution Center to allow the computer to show that the I/M is "ready" vs. "not ready."
This bulletin can easily be performed by the dealer and applies to both the 4 cyl. and 6 cyl engine.
I have a jeep wrangler 2006 TJ manual transmission. 2 weeks ago i started hearing a weird noise. Not always i hear it. But most of the time, for example when i am stuck in traffic and try to accelerate from 0km/hr on gear 1, i hear like something tearing below but goes back back normally when i move on! I hope i addressed my question clearly.
Thanks for the help!
