I have a friend with a 1998 Jeep Cherokee 4.0, which has been stalling immediately after start up. It starts the 2nd time and works fine. The problem is only intermittent now. I am not sure if it does it when the engine is cold or hot. Unfortunately it never does it when I am in/looking at the car. And it is hard to get the symptoms, because girls do not pay close attention to that kind of stuff. Anyone have any ideas? Is this a common problem? Or any ideas what to check? Fuel filter?

sounds like a fuel pump or relay issue

furl pump

i would think a bad fuel pump would cause other issues as well.

I see a lot on the net about faulty CPS in these jeeps.

my CPS has failed twice, but both times it was a no start condition. It can't hurt to replace it and see if that fixes it, because it WILL eventually fail on you. It may correct your problem, may not.

a bad crank sensor acts a little differently on a jeep

from what i found on the CPS it is more stalling when coming to a stop. I don't want to just buy parts and guess what the problem si, Im gonna look at it some more tomorrow.

and if the gasket is shot on the top make up some interesting way to clean the tank....

my gasket had fragmented and become more of a spacer set to let shit into my fuel tank...
i killed the stock and a new pump before i drained the tank into a bucket and cleaned all of the ruber and shit out of the tank. (i didn't know it was in there until it was empty)

they tried that shit on mythbusters

nothing happened

the motor is isolated from the airflow

but i still would not do it

Not on an old Hoover.

7/21/2006 9:10:27 PM

i would say crank position sensor or the throttle position sensor (TPS)
