My jeep grand cherokee laredo is doing the exact same thing. I had it tuned up, ingintion core put in it and I just put a brand new map sensor in it and not even a week later it did it again. i will try and replace the other 2 sensor but since you wrote this has you had and problems out of it and how long ago did you replace all 3 sensor? Please get incontact with me and let me know because I hate to be paying for something that it might not need like the ingintion core that I had put on it which was probably not need. Please contact me am a single mother and money is tight and this is my only ride to work so you know that if its not working right am in trouble.
Thanks for your time am on facebook you can locate me there. :sick:
Take it to AutoZone to have them pull your engine codes and see if you are getting a cylinder misfire code. If so, it's going to be your fuel injector giving you the problem. Good luck!
Mine was having the EXACT same problem (1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.0). I replaced the fuel filter, MAP Sensor, Crank Sensor, Spark Plugs, O2 Sensors, Catalytic Converter...it turned out the problem was a bad fuel injector. Fuel injector on cylinder 3 was sticking. My friend is a mechanic and he replaced the fuel injector for me. It's been running spectacularly since.

1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo stalling problem
Apparently some web site is selling this information on the net and YouTube for $20, when the spacer fix has been around for a while on the net for free.
Thanks!

the dealer (have to go to a dealer for this) took it and put his best electric guy on it. he tracked to the instument cluster ($800), replaced it and a sensor (total $1250). i picke it up, drove it 2 mile skim light came on, it died and the guages did the same thing. took it back that next morning, (1 1/2 weeks ago), they have been tracking it (when the temp is below 50) and they tried replacing the skim unit.... still no luck. when they did that then they ran a scan on the computer and the computer said it was a diesel truck (not a 2000 grand cherokee) and the computer was now he problem. they ordered that part ($800) and it is on the way and that is where we are right now..... I told them up front i do not want to get into this for over $1500. the service rep says he knows and they will work with me.... If they do, then they will have my business for sure, (i have never used a dealer in the past) but i have not got that far yet... i am calling today because i really need my car back.. will try to keep you posted.....

Is there any way this could be as easy as just changing the spark plugs??
I will add that the car needs several parts (catalytic converter, muffler) of the exhaust replaced (exhaust is leaking). I didn't think that could be related but I don't know a whole lot about cars..
What should i do.
This is my first trip in here and do hope that you will be able to help me out...
I have a 99 GC Laredo V8 4x4 that just started having issues today.
It WILL start right up, idle very low, then shut off every time. When I turn the ignition key everything lights up and I can hear the fuel pump run. When it starts, I can give it gas and it will rev up and then proceed to die once it runs out of fuel. I then turn off the key, turn it back on and the same thing all over again. I do not want to point anyone in the wrong direction however it just seems that once it runs out of fuel pressure it dies. I am by myself and cannot get under the jeep to listen to see if the fuel pump continues to run while it is at such a low idle... Any ideas???
I have a 2002 JGC, 4 cyl. It has about 140,000 miles on it. While driving last night the engine cut out while driving then started up again- felt a hard shake from the engine. It did it a few times until it completely lost power. I pulled over the the side of the road at one point and tried to start it. I heard a rapid clicking noise and then the car went totally out. Has this happened to anyone else? Or can someone tell me what they think might be the problem?
Thanks,
Rebekah
What should i do.
Today I tried disconnecting the battery completely and let sit for about an hour - hopefully to let computer reset. So far no key light and everthing works - crossing my fingers!!!
well the dealer seems to have fixed my guages going on and off. skim light coming on and car dying.... always started back up but when the temp outside went below 50 degrees the skim light would come on and the guages would start and stop working. they ended up replacing the instument cluster, the pcm, the crankshaft position sensor and maybe the skim module as well..... when they put it back together they left the skim module disconnected, their idea and i was all for it...... $1600 but they seemed to get it right
I have a formerly well behaved '95 JGC Orvis, 5.2L (remember when we called one of these a "318"?), 165k miles, which, rightly or wrongly, I love. :shades:
It has developed problems, which may or may not be related.
First, It has the relays clicking (repeated clicks, from the ASD and starter relays) before the CEL comes on, then requires multiple tries before it will actually start, but when it finally starts, it runs fine. If it stays warm, it starts more easily for the rest of the day, if it cools all the way down, it goes through the relay clicking --> CEL light up --> start process again...
Second, it has a draw that takes the battery from fully charged to barely charged overnight that has thus far eluded testing to identify the cause.
Finally, while driving over longer distances it has begun tossing a code 032 (EGR) which goes away on it's own, and the VIC has started complaining about Servicing the 4WD Switch. I have had it on an OBD scan tool and all of the numbers are in a range that seems ok once the thing is running and warmed up...
I have pulled all of the fuses and relays, tested them, and cleaned all of the contacts. I have replaced the CPS, ASD and Starter relays, the battery and the ECM, none of which have solved the problems.
Has anyone seen any of these issues / problems and found a fix that didn't involve a shotgun and a shallow grave?
2. Checked fuses, swapped relays around - no change.
3. No Spark.
4. Tried to use OBD II - unable to communicate with computer.
ECM?
Please advise. Thanks.
