Ol' girl dies sitting. When it reaches about 3k rpms. Sputters like it's having an asthma attack, trying to catch breath.

Statred to happen after the Jeep electrical system went wacko while driving. Needles started flying everywhere and the ABS and ((Brake)) light came on along with the battery and oil light.

There is no CEL and she idols fine. Again, it happens when revving or driving and you stop at a light. Turning the key works and starts her right back up.

Has the battery loss power or the alternator? Maybe the TB needs to be cleaned or TPS? I'll have to the battery tested tomorrow and see the results. Wpuld the fuel system cause this?

Lots of people with symptoms like that end up tracing it back to the battery. You are wise to have it tested. :)

Try grabbing a new battery before winter if you live in a cold climate, also check out oil catch cans if you recently did work on the vacume lines
