I had previously posted in this forum having a similar problem of my 96 xj cherokee shutting off near low idle. I finally fixed the problem recently and it turned out to be a bad distributor. The post of the distributor was very loose and had a lot of play. Check this on yours be removing the distributor cap and wiggling the post coming out of the distributor. If it has any play side-to-side at all, it needs to be replaced (I paid $60 at autozone). It's a tough install though - make sure your teeth are lined up the same way as the old one when you put the new one in or your engine won't fire right. suggest having a professional do this one if you are not comfortable doing these kinds of fixes.
hope this helps. cheers!

This problem started yesterday. First it would start once then run for about 3 seconds then stall. After that it would turn over but not start. If you left it alone for 2-3 minutes it would repeat that process. After about 6-7 times of this it will no longer even turn over. Just get 1 click sound when I turn the key to start. Sounds like coming from under the right side of the dash each time I turn the key to start.
Clock radio and window control lights on the driver door go out when I try to turn over.
Not the battery, headlights come on strong. Also tried to jump it, just to rule that option out.
Any Ideas? Out of warranty, 46,000 miles.
Thanks,
Jason
Car has had recent LPG conversion. Switch to petrol, same problem. Any ideas????
how old is battery if over 2 3 years change it
these jeeps have to have a good batt or you have all kinds of prob
if batt is 2 or 3 years old get a new one try it you might just solve your prob
But this is my idea, and if you can, tell me if it's a possibility. I used to have a 92 mercury tracer, and a 94 ford ranger. And they both had the same problem. The left blinker would get stuck on the on position, without blinking. And both cars would sometimes die out.. And when i got them fixed, it was the same problem. It was a short in the wiring which killed the fuel pump..
Now, my Jeep keeps reading that there is a rear tail lamp failure and the reverse parking lights do not work, though the fuse is fine and i replaced both bulbs. Could that short possibly be the cause this problem???
Thanks.
Any clues? Could the combination of opening the doors and playing with the key fob have temporarily confused the immobilizer? I talked to 4 dealers and none of them have heard of this problem before. No check engine light
2002 JGC Laredo with +- 93K....extreme hesitation after stopping...have to keep literally stomping on gas pedal...
very fast idle upon starting in morning, sometimes as high as 3000 RPM...very noisy....had transmission fluid and filter changed out around a month ago, everything seemed fine....trouble started back up about 3 days ago. Also, as I'm driving along, I've noticed a loss of power accompanied by revving of the engine, only fix has been to pump gas until it works its way out....after idle calms down upon starting, I get a shaking,sputtering sensation...almost like it's going to stall out. Finally, my engine light is ALWAYS on, code refers to gas cap/emissions....CANNOT get it cleared.
ANY help is appreciated....taking my Heep to the garage on Saturday.... :mad:
Thanks again everyone. If anyone is still having problems check the wiring. Jeep seems to have a lot of problems with electrical wiring.
Thanks
sounds as if not working right
