The crankshaft position sensor is a fail item. It's a challenge to get at, but can be done as long as you have an extended tool set. When that gadget isn't working right, the engine barely runs.

over 2 rpms when it starts by cacolfer

I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited edition that has about 173000 miles on it when I start it it revs up to or over 2 rpms and then it takes almost a minute for it to rev back down. Also it has a ticking in the engine at all times I was told once that it could be a collasped lifter? Can you help me figure out what I need to do to fix this

93 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo mechanical issue by shellyb88

My son drives a 93 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. When he is driving under 50 mph and hits a pothole or blemish in the road, his right front wheel will violently shake, the vehicle jerks to the right and looks like the wheel is about to fall off. If he reduces speed, the wheel will correct itself. We've replaced the gear box and stabilizing kit. The ball joints are slightly loose but our mechanic says not enough to cause the wheel malfunction. Mechanic is out of ideas. Please help.

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a 1994 Grand Cherkoee,4.0 straight 6 Auto 4WD.
 
I have no spark, No fuel.
 when i turn key over ,the check engine light doesnt even come on as normal when you usually turn key over and "dummy" lights test i guess ...where all console lights come on for a second.
 
Ive changed crank sensor,cam sensor,relays related to this stuff ...The reason i changed relays was ..i would hear a clicking noise in the box containing all the relays it starts as a slow clicking noise then the check engine light would eventually come on and the clicking would stop ..
 
If the Check engine light comes on ... the truck would start. and the code for crank sensor would come on .. i changed the crank sensor and still nothing ...
 
At 1st the truck wouldnt start at temperatures below 50 degrees but now wont start at all ...
 
PLEASE HELP ..I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO WORK ON OR CHECK NEXT!

check "u-joints" going to the front axle..i've heard this is the cure for the "death wobble"..

"fusable link" is where i'd check..the large wires going to the starter have smaller wires coming from it-with this thinner gauge wire-designed to burn through b4 your entire electrical system melts..
-the way to check-is to -tug-on the wire..if it dfeels like you'r only pulling the plastic coating-rather than wire-there is your problem..
---WARNING---
to get it home,you can put a heavier wire on there-but repair it with fusable linl..and mt personal prefrence-is solder and shrink tube-right down by the starter...test it with a testr light.poke a hole through insulation-to contact wire,and see if you have power..go up the same wire about a foot,and test again..ifd you get power in one place,and not up the kline-there is your problem. !
--when fusable links go out-it usually means you have a short somewhere,and you get to test it-unplug diffrent harnesses(lights-a/c)stuff like that-till you get it to do it again..inspect closley-and find damaged wire,then fix it..unless you want to add to your oproblems by doing bad-cheap fixes-use solder and shrink tube..that is the best fix,not just twisting wires together..that will get you off the side of the road,but will fail soon..please--fix it right...and save yourself problerms..
--loose nut-behind the wheel !((you know..the madman with his foot to the floor..)the mecanic friends used to say that's what's wrong with my car..)just to explain my username..
--best of luck!

befor i would replace the tail light i would go to the jeep dealer and buy the bulb holders as the heat from the bulb makes the contacts weak and then they dont make contact the bull holders rae bout 5or 6 bucks cheaper than tail light assmbly

i agree wit tugabug,try th cheaper options first,and yea,the heat-especially break light bulbs,can melt those plastic sockets..try bending the tabs,so they'll contact the bulb better...get a simple"light up" circut tester,and see if there's power back there--before buying circut boards..,and ALWAYS use the non-conductive grease on those bulbs..moisture corrodes contacts..try scraping them clean also..
--good luck!
