I have a problem with my 1993 Jeep. When I go out to my car in the morning my car seems to start up and run without any problems. As I drive my car throughout the day, it has more trouble starting and driving. Sometimes it can take up to 4 times to get the car to actually turn over and start. Sometimes when I am driving the car starts reving at a higher rpm even when I am idling. Sometimes when pushing the gas at a red light the car stalls completely and it can take a few times to restart. My battery is new so this is not an issue. I have always been able to get the car to start, it just has trouble starting the more frequently I use the car in the day. It seems to do particularily bad if I have many short trips in a day. Also the stalling at red lights as I push the gas pedal is becoming a problem. Thank you in advance for you advice.
