Description of the problem	Purchased new 2004 jeep from dealer. Within the first month of ownership, i began experiencing occasional, intermittent engine problems at start-up-- the engine would run very rough, shaking the vehicle. The service light in the dash would flash. If driven, the engine would stall unless the accelerator was continually pressed. After a few of these events, we discovered that, if turned off, after about 5 minutes, the engine would run normally. The service light would remain on for a few minutes (sometimes a half hour) and then turn off. This problem re-occurred intermittently, sometimes every month, & sometimes every couple months, usually in the morning at first startup, but sometimes when i left work in the evening to drive home. My salesman and the service manager knew of the problem. Jeep dealer later said that the vehicle was simply in need of a complete tune-up. They did the tune up 6 months ago - may 2006. The problem has recurred again. I took the jeep in again. Dealer reports that car is "running rough" but they can not find the problem. *jb
