Help!

Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Help! My jeep keeps stalling and sputters. One minute it's fine then the next
it's not. Had cam sensor replaced. Had crank sensor replaced. Ran fine for
about a week. Cleaned throttle out. Now won't start at all and smells like gas
when I try to start it.

If you smell gas, then you may not have any spark. I would scan for fault codes. This Jeep will self scan. Turn the ignition key from Off to On three times (quickly) without starting the engine. Watch your odometer where the four digit fault codes will display. Write them down and Google the results. It will display "done" if there are no codes, or when it is done scanning. This will lead you to the problem.
Have the following codes.. P0118, P0320, and P1494. Also just had tune up done... Spark plugs etc...
I ended up replacing the temperature control sensor and it fired right. Unplugged neg cable for 15 min. To reset codes and now no more codes!

That's great! Now you are on your way to becoming a Jeep mechanic. There seems to be quite a demand for them you know.
