2001 Cherokee Classic engine starting issues

[gottarun]

Wondering if anyone has some insight on this:

I have to use the accelerator to get her to start. If I don't, the engine "might" catch, but will die immediately, also, if I do use the gas to start her, but let it off too soon, the engine will die, and not restart for several minutes.

My mechanic is currently at a loss...
Has anyone had this problem, can you give me an idea of what to check into?

Thanks!
