#133 of 1068 1998 Grand Jeep Cherokee Larerdo Idle/Stalling need new ECM? by maria504
Aug 30, 2007 (2:36 pm)
I just bought a used JGC 1998, it has been in the shop more than I had it. I test drove it-loved it-bought it. The next week I had to change the Catalytic Converter, then two weeks after it stalled on me while idle at a light, started right back up with no check engine light on. Mechanic says I need a sensor, I got a Idle Air Control,and two others don't exactly remember the names(he says they are very common on these jeeps. Next day stalls again while driving down the block. Mechanic says IAC sensor(new one) is defective so he changed it again. A few days later stalls and hesitant to start back up- while idle again NOW this time it's running really,really rough and sputters at lights,and in traffic. My fuel light came on too and then all of a sudden dissaperaed again. Mechanic says it must be that my jeep only likes parts from the dealer so he changed sensor AGAIN and cleaned fuel injectors!! Still runs crappy,and breaks down at stop signs and lights very rough.I went to a NEW mechanic, the computer test told him that I need: Ignition Coil, Fuel Pump Relay, and a new computer ECM....TOTAL 762.10 ugghhh...Help what do you think? How often do these ECM's go bad.

I just bought a 2000 Grand Cherokke Laredo, it's a 6 cil. 2WD, the car is in excelent conditions, sometimes when the transmission is in PARKING mode de ignition fail to start, then when I move the stick to DRIVE mode, works fine. Anyone have any clues for this issue ? I just love the car, it's a dream come true to me.
Thanxs for your time. Mauricio

Engine off, vehicle in Park. Rock the Jeep forward and backward a couple of times. Get in and try to start it. Sometimes the Park/Lock cable gets a bit stretched and doesn't allow the lock to be turned forward. Rocking the car relieves tension on the cable and on the Park/Lock function on the ignition switch.

Hi there,This problem started yesterday. First it would start once then run for about 3 seconds then stall. After that it would turn over but not start. If you left it alone for 2-3 minutes it would repeat that process. After about 6-7 times of this it will no longer even turn over. Just get 1 click sound when I turn the key to start. Sounds like coming from under the right side of the dash each time I turn the key to start.
Clock radio and window control lights on the driver door go out when I try to turn over.
Not the battery, headlights come on strong. Also tried to jump it, just to rule that option out.
Any Ideas? Out of warranty, 46,000 miles.
Thanks,
Jason
