I have a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it has the V8 5.something Liter engine. I had gotten it used a year and 2 months ago, and this is the first time I have really had any troubles with it. Before I had gotten I do know the previous owners had a new transmission place in the vehicle.
The problems I am having now seem especially to happen when it gets really cold. I just don't know if its the weather that could be the cause of the issues (and there is something I could do sans a mechanic) or what. What happens is when I start it up, the jeep will run fine for a few seconds then pause like its going to stall out but keep running, so its like its this brief pause/break in the running, this happens a couple of times, and even sometimes happens (though very rarely) when I am driving. Also when I start it up my oil gauge shoots up to nearly the 80 mark, and tends to sit between 60 and 80 for a while. Also (and I usually let the jeep sit and warm up for a couple of minutes, at least 5 always). When I put it in reverse, the jeeps starts loosing power and often times enough to where it looks like it may turn off, also know and then when I put it in reverse it sounds like somehting is rattling inside just about. Though once I put it in drive the power seems to shoot back up and I can go for a bit, but once I slow down for the first curve , it starts loosing power again acting like its just going to loose enough power to shut off, but once I hit the gas it powers right back up.
Then sometimes when I am driving, the jeep will jerk really hard almost like something kicked the jeep, and there would be like a thud sound. It would do this sometimes when I had stopped at like a stoplight or stopsign.
I had just recently dropped it off at a mechanic's to have it looked at and I told them all that, at first they said it wasn't doing any of this for them when they started it up and stuff, and I told them to keep it overnight and they did , the next morning got a call saying it was done. I wasn't charged for what they did, and at first it seemed what they did do fixed it, but then this morning it seemed the problems were back with a vengence.
I forgot to add, also no check engine lights come or anything, no warning lights up.
Thanks
To be sure:
AZC self-diagnostic mode:
1. To enter the self-diagnostic mode, depress the a/c and recirc buttons at the same time and hold. Rotate the left temperature control knob clockwise (CW) one detent.
2. If you continue to keep the a/c and recirc buttons depressed, the AZC control module will perform a Segment Test of the Vacuum Fluorescent (VF) display. In the Segment Test you should see all of the display segments illuminate as long as both buttons are held. If a display segment fails to illuminate, the vacuum fluorescent display is faulty and the a/c heater control must be replaced.
3. After viewing the Segment Test, release the A/C and Recirc buttons and the display will clear momentarily. If there are no fault codes, the “00” display value will remain in the VF window. Should there be any codes, each will be displayed for one second in ascending numerical sequence (note: no effort is made to display faults in the order they occurred). The left side set temperature display will be blanked and the right side set temperature display will indicate current and historical codes (8 historical max) presently active.
Once all codes have been displayed, the system will repeat the fault code numbers. This will continue until the left side set temperature control is moved at least one detent position in either direction, by pressing both the A/C and Recirc buttons at the same time, or the ignition is turned off. Record all of the fault codes, then see the Current and Historical Fault Code charts below for the descriptions.
Then check your codes against this list:

If they turn but take extra pedal, have the transfer case fluid changed at the stealership.
Right temperature door travel too large.
What does this mean, how is it fixed?

It's too late but you should have bought something else, I wish I had.
It's got only 40,000 mi on it. Has anyone else had the same problem ?
I go to Google and find a link to the company web site. From there I find the company CEO and call the corporate headquarters and ask for him. You won't get to speak to him but they have assistants that step in and usually get the problem resolved.
I just did this with my HMO because their pharmacy could not or would not get my prescription filled for over a month. I got it two days later and the pharmacy boss gave me her phone number so I could call her directly in the future.
ifb you use jeep parts prob will return
