Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me whats wrong with my car and what I need to do! I drive a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with 220,000 miles on it. Yesterday, while I was stopped at a red light my engine "sputtered" and just quit. I put in park, turned it off, and cranked up and drove away. Now every time my engine is idling it will stall out or quit. I have had to put it in neutral and keep the engine revved when stopped to prevent from quitting.

Someone please help.
