First thing is taking a step back and taking it one step at a time theres alot of issues that can be causing this by eliminateing them one by one we will figure it out . Lets first check if there are any codes present ..... http://jeep-xj.info/HowtoECUcodes.htm 12 and 55 would be normal to see dis regard them. Are there others post them. Next try some starter fluid sprayed into tube to throttle body. Pull tube from air box at red arrow and spray starting fluid into tube 3 or 4 second spray should work. Now lay tube down and try and start what happens ? Watch this video ,no need to remove the plug . .......DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PART OF SCREW DRIVER DURING THIS TEST THE END RESULT WILL STRAIGHTEN YOUR SHORT HAIRS ....... .

Checked the codes, I still got 12 & 55
I'm about to watch this video but I have to go to work soon and get off at 7:30pm EST. I will be back at this in the early AM, after yoga.

Thank you Free! I just wish others would give me step by step instructions. I feel like I'm at a circus…and I'm the seal and the clown!

Not quite, check out my other threads. I seem to be notorious for this type of punishment but freegdr-my hero and others always come through.
Anyways. Please tell me how to get this clamp off, it won't budge...check out this pic...

Take a flathead screwdriver and lift up on the piece on the right under it's left side. While you are doing that pull the left piece and right piece apart.

Fellas I'm on my way to work, be back on here in the EARLY AM- and I got all day for criticism but I would prefer step by step guidance please.
I can do this if you're patient, you speak in clear terms, as if speaking to someone that is learning. I have successfully done all the work on my Jeep since I bought her in April 2012. Freegdr has been very instrumental, so much that I wish I could meet him and give him a few million cold ones-So I'm very biased to his advice and he has my hear. BUT, I appreciate all of your advice. Even the slander, it makes me more determined. Thank you all. Let's work together!
My next step...starter fluid into the intake...
So please tell me how to get this clamp off…
