1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Stall Fix #2 - Easiest thing to try by far!!!

[@geobrad2645]

I made a comment on your first post but I just remembered. You can also try getting one of those OBDII readers that does live reads and see if something pops up when it stalls out.

[@2muchpoison]

I'm almost sure that is the CPS, crankshaft position sensor. Located on the bell housing of the transmission. Pain to change.

[@leonhollingsworth2629]

My jeep is doing the same thing, but I stick my key in the door and lock and unlock it. This the security feature, and when i go to start, it starts right up...

Thanks very appreciated.

What did it end up being ?

[@cnote001]

Still haven't figured it out. Sure wish I could. So many of us have the issue and no one has the solution. All the forums and videos still leave us guessing.

@@cnote001 hey man , I figured mine out . The wires coming out of the bottom of the coil that go under the motor toward the starter were smashed . It was causing an intermittent issue same symptoms as you . I cut the smashed portion out and re spliced . Problem solved . It’s a green wire .

@@exhaustfumes927 well hell, I'll be looking at those tomorrow. Hope it remains fixed for you and helps all of us solve the issue!!

@@cnote001 if u slide under mine was smack dab inline with where the starter is if u trace the wire back . Let me know if yours is bare as in like didn’t have a loom . Mine didn’t which I thought was wierd

Certain things are required to trigger the computer to reset, not sure what they are but if you don't do them then you won't get a consistent result. Try the battery wires, alternator, new battery, there is a vaccum line to the throttle or MAP or something that was cracked on another Jeep I read about. Test the vacuum. Fuel pump... there is supposed to be a 12 point list for stalling Jeeps.

[@cornfusedatbest3980]

Where would one find this 12 point list? Thanx in advance.

[@VenturaIT]

@@cornfusedatbest3980 ask on Jeepforum or try Google, KZbin won't let me paste links here

[@VenturaIT]

I had my crank position sensor replaced and that solved most of the stalling, I still have to replace the MAP sensor and the plastic vaccum connector (L shaped tube), I'm just being lazy because it hardly stalls now...

[@cornfusedatbest3980]

@@VenturaIT Hardly and "not" are two very different things. I've replaced the fuel pump and the 4-5 major sensors, fuel rail, and battery, beginning to think it's the ECM connection. This turd isn't even mine, it's a friends. I should be a friend and tell him to put a brick on the throttle and aim it toward the lake.😁

[@womansworkproductionco]

Smart! Thanks!

I do a rain dance and it starts

[@cnote001]

I wash my car and it rains. It's a vicious cycle

[@limleoktong9449]

that's just temporary

[@cnote001]

Yep, that's the first thing I mention in the video. Just a good temporary fix that might get someone home if their Jeep stalls on the road. Still looking for the permanent fix.
