#2410 of 2465 1994 cut off. by jeepinjoeszj Dec 25, 2006 (10:53 pm)
My 1994 5.2 just did this today, I turned it on it idled smooth for about 10-15 secs and cut off. No sputtering no "stalling" just cut straight off, as if I had turned the ignition off. And it will not start back, it turns over just won't start. I haven't had a good chance to look at it yet and am just looking to find the best place to start. I believe it to be an electrical problem, be it a fuse or relay or short. Dunno yet. Any ideas?

Replying to: jeepinjoeszj (Dec 25, 2006 10:53 pm) The problem could be the ECM (Engine Control Module)which is located on the right side of the engine near the distributor. It will be sealed in black rubberized epoxy. This is a sealed unit and cannot be repaired.You need to get a code reader to verify what code comes up. That will point you to the problem area. The other cause could be your timing chain or belt since it will no longer start.   Cost for replacing timing chain or belt $350.00 approx. Cost for replacing ECM (new) $650.00 (junkyard) $200.00   Since your vehicle is a 1994 and depending your mileage and how frequently you change your oil, I would suspect the timing chain first. ECM rarely fail. I hope this helps. Replies to this message: holey24 (Feb 06, 2007 2:02 pm)

Replying to: jeepinjoeszj (Dec 25, 2006 10:53 pm) Timing chains are also a almost never fail item. If you did not hear any unusual noises when it shut down I would be more likely to suspect an electrical problem.

Replying to: richardsturges (Dec 18, 2005 1:00 am) I too have the exact same problem with my '05 Grand Cherokee. I believe that JEEP knows there is a standing problem because the first several times I took the car in for the problem, I was also having standard oil changes, etc., and at no time did any of the dealerships ever document that I was bringing it in for the stalling issue. Now, two years later, they are saying there is no history of it. My car stalls mostly at slow down or when I am excelerating from a stop, which has caused several "close calls". It started out being once in a while and has increased to almost everyday. It is only a matter of time before a major accident occurs and I am fearful. I have been told by one dealership in Huntington Beach, CA that there is no reason to even bring it in because it is a random occurance that is not showing up on the computer and so there is nothing they can do for me. I am going to leave the car this week with another dealership in Cerritos, CA and tell them I will not be picking it up until it is fixed! Please email me at dkzsocal.rr.com and I will keep you posted as I am going to try to use the lemon law to get a refund!! Debbie

I have been told by a couple of mechanics to replace the battery with a new one. That it would solve the problem due to no codes on your ECM. something about the battery not putting out enough current to run everything.
#2418 of 2465 Questions about 2007 Grand Cherokee by mpuzach May 11, 2007 (9:26 am)
I'm considering buying a new 2007 Grand Cherokee Limited 4X4. I took one for a test drive yesterday and liked it although I must admit to being concerned about reliability. My list of contenders is pretty much whittled down to the Jeep and, believe it or not, the Hyundai Santa Fe Limited. Without getting into the pros and cons of each vehicle, I have a few Qs regarding the Jeep:   - Can the factory navigation unit be dealer-installed in a 2007 that came from the factory without navigation?   - Are the steering wheel cruise control buttons illuminated at night?   - What kind of real-world gas mileage are folks with the 4.7 liter V8 getting?   - Are there any common reliability issues that I should be aware of?   Thanks for your help!   - Mike
