Now the question, the order of the problems, IAC--TPS--Injector sounds normal to you? what's next? if i can be ahead of the next problem.. :sick:
I have been experiencing that same issues!
So frustrating absolutely nothing make since about this issue. When it happens it just happens, it's not like every time I get to half a tank of gas, or hit 45miles per hour, or turn the air on... It doesn't seem to matter, I've been looking for a possible connection and haven't found anything.
I have replaced all my relays, checked all my grounds, vacuum hoses, replaced the cam-shaft, and crank-shaft position sensors.
I took it to the shop after all that and they think it's my PCM, seems to be the answer every time they don't know what else the problem is.
One thing to add though, is when I check my codes a bunch of them pop up to include: 7 of my 8 injectors are popping a code for misfire, the camshaft sensor is popping a code, my fuel sending unit is popping a code also.
Since they want nearly $1000.00 parts and labor for a PCM I'm inclined to try a couple of other things first.
I know my fuel pump is old and my sending unit is shot so I'm going to replace those items along with the filter.
I'll follow that with a pressure test to make sure every things good to go. Now this may not fix my big problem since most likely any of these components being faulty would cause a pretty regular problem and this big problem is very intermittent but unignorable. I'll replace my PCV valve retest my new camshaft and crankshaft sensors to make sure they're still functioning properly (if either of them aren't then I can start looking at what would cause them to go bad since they are new they would otherwise be fine)And finally top ot off with a spark plug and wire change. If that doesn't work I'll continue through the Emmsions and Engine control systems replacing applicable relays & sensors ie. throttle pos. sensor, rear wheel speed sensor, ect... :sick: After that I'll be out of ideas and low on money so hopefully someone will have some other suggestions or I'll look forward to a reply from rherndon saying he found the problem it was cheap and should fix your problem too!! :shades: If I could be so lucky... Thanks for reading folks and I look forward to hearing from you.
Would I be a fool to just pop this 10 year old virgin into 4WD? Any recommended checks first?
I haven't had a mechanic look it over yet. Other than the tires, this thing is CHERRY. I'm so hoping to pick it up.
Thanks for any advice.
To those ends, we will be shutting down the general make/model discussions and work exclusively with specific issues. This requires us to populate the make/model subsections with relevant, interesting and timely topics. Rather than having the hosts simply create boilerplate topics for each make/model, we feel that you, the owner, the make/model enthusiast and the prospective buyer can best judge what those topics should be.
You can help by adding a discussion (it's easy!) or suggesting one here.
To add a discussion, click on the last link in the "You are here" line at the top of this page. That will take you to the topic page for this make/model. Review the list of topics and click on the "Add discussion" link when you've decided what topic you'd like to add. Follow the directions and you're done! Feel free to add more than one. Just avoid duplicating existing topics and try not to make it TOO specific!
Your help and continued participation in the Forums is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
I've heard that I could have popped out the gauge when replacing the filter. Is this a common occurrence? I must hve driven at least 30 miles on the truck since the incident. If there were no pressure, would the engine have blown up by now, or is it probably the gauge? Any thoughts? Thanks so much

You'll learn alot quite quickly.
It sounds like your cooling system is working effectively and efficiently. A cooling fan will typically only engage if the engine is too hot. Did your sport exhibit the same behavior during the summer when ambient temperatures were high?

How good of a mechanic are you? I would start by making absolutely sure the engine is getting plenty of air and the ignition system is functioning properly. I'm wondering if the engine is receiving too much fuel at startup when parked in the nose down or level position. Could the fuel pressure regulator be faulty? How about leaking/really dirty fuel injectors?
I hate to be so vague, but I'm really a "hands on" type of mechanic. I have to see, hear and smell what the engine is doing most of the time.
Ease up on dancerman, he's an asset to this forum. :shades:

I bought this jeep a week ago. The other day I took this jeep on I-90 and i realized that the car vibrates like crazy on high speeds (55 MPH onwards). Am not sure with the solution.. i read a few post but it didnt help...I even took it to the jeep dealer who changed the U joint and polished the front axle, and he told me that the tires have developed a chop since the previous owner did not rotate the tires. But I dont think this is the only prob.. The noise has gone down but not completely.... The jeep has not been lifted.. please help me with this issue...

i changed the fuel filter and now im thinking maybe i should add fuel injector cleaner and see if it still have same problems
but some one told me it might be timing belt problems, its never been changed and the car has almost 140k miles on it
does any one know anything about timing belts that could help me find out the problem. it seems like its alot of work changing it too on the Jeep :confuse:
i recently purchased a used right hand drive cherokee.
it has a few problems but that's ok.
i do have one that i can't figure out....i don't have heat...i've changed the thermostat, checked the fuses, heater core is not leaking (i assume that means its working), dealer put in a new water pump and radiator, blower is working great but no heat....anything else i should be checking??
thanks for any advice
Its a funny thing, I just recently bought a used 84K miles, 2001 Jeep Cherokee Classic, 6cyl, 4WD and its doing the same thing yours is doing, ok.
Do you have any replies or clues to what is wrong with your 2001 Jeep Cherokee at this time? I would really like to know, as well.
Sincerely,
jimbo
thanks dancerman and armyguy01 for ur suggestions... i got the tires balanced too... the vibration level did reduce a bit... then i finally went to the dealer who sold me the car and he removed the rear drive shaft and now the car drives just fine... actually in my prev post i had written abt polishing the front axle...it is actually the rear axle... the dealer who is also a very good mechanic told me that the bearing is gone and thats the reason why the rear drive shaft vibrates.. he is doing it for free... rite now though am driving it without the drive shaft..only i cant use my 4WD... lets hope tht things turn out to be good... i'll keep u guys updated.....
Thanks...
