| I have a 96 Grand Cherokee and it was running fine until recently. It turns over and starts up, but the engine cuts off if you remove your foot off of the gas. The problem is sporadic and may or may not occur depending on the day. I took it to a local mechanic who believed the problem related to the alarm system. He was not able to disable the alarm or fix the problem, but provided a work around by using the key on the passenger side and then the driver's side then starting the car. This may or may not work all the time. I took it to the dealer and they provided a different work around using the keyless entry that also may or may not work all of the time. I just want it fixed. Someone I know had a 93 Grand Cherokee with a similar problem and it was the ignition coil (only a $100 problem). I mentioned this to the local mechanic and the dealership and they both dismissed this as the reason for the problem. For now I don't know if it is truly an issue with the alarm or something else. Any suggestions? | |
I apologize up-front for my ignorance, as I am not too good with cars. I have a 2000 JGC and noticed that it has been shuttering while driving high speeds. The shutter is not constant and only happens 50MPH+. It has become more frequent, which concerns me quite a bit. Additionally, the last two times that I have stopped to fill my tank, the car will not start. I have been forced to wait 10-15 minutes before the car will start. The battery is fine and doesn't require replacement. I am getting feedback that it is a transmission problem, but am looking for some other opinions. Any info you guys have to offer would be AWESOME! Thanks in advance!

Replying to: dixiecrawler (Jan 24, 2006 8:51 am) that is really nice.well,i have a 96 grand cherokee laredo and as you can see in my last message i am not totally forsure about my tires size.so i just want a small lift and was thinking about doing it this summer and i just want a few inches on the lift and the tires. i don't want a monster truck because i would then have to put little step bars on it to get into it.so just something that will look kinda cool to go along with my new custom paint job,its like when you start to go custom you just can't stop.  -Jeeper96

Replying to: jeeper96 (Jan 25, 2006 7:41 am) So, the mfg reading from the table would be better than trying to calculate it out with rounding, etc Looking at the table as well, you would probably have to adjust for rim width good luck whatever you decide to do. bill |

Replying to: gccambridge (Jan 24, 2006 12:59 pm) I too had that problem, which I called the dealer about. You've described the problem perfectly, even regarding the other gears shifting smoothly. The service manager told me that this "jerking" motion was due to 2nd gear being such a low gear. I've also noticed some struggle when going up steep hills. It seems as though you've had better luck than I have. I've had problems every 3,000 miles that I've had to take it in for; it now has a little over 10,000 on it.
