I've read most of the posts and nothing quite like this one. My GC stall at highway speeds, 20 miles per hour and even stop. Just stops when it want too. No codes in the system. I've changed the CPS as many people indicated that item was a common problem, new battery, cleaned the grounds, new battery terminals, 3/4 tank of gas. The dealership said I needed a new "brain" before they could trouble shoot it, because for some reason it would erase all codes whenever this problem occurred. One thing I have not seen mentioned is after mine stalls, you sit for maybe 1 or 2 minutes and each time you try to start it, it will crank, no start, but the fuel gage is reading below zero. The rest of the lights and gages work per normal at that point. Now after awhile when you turn the switch on, the fuel gage registers the 3/4 tank and it will always start right up! When I first drove yesterday after all the stated repairs, it ran fine for the first 15 miles, then quit about 8 times over the next 6 miles getting home. It alway starts after the fuel gage starts registering and has never failed to start. It is those honking horns at the light that get me..ha. Some one told me that the GC fuel gage ground was thru the ECU or PCU don't remember which, but I assume they mean the main "Brain". Even the manual code reading of turning on the switch 3 times only gets "done" code, nothing else. Also, not sure if this is realated but I get some beeps after the seatbelt warning etc. The last thing is two series of 3 beeps. Very distinctive beeps. Always 3beeps and short pause and 3 more. Ik can't seems to find anything about these beeps. Anyone have a solution to either of these problems? My next step is replacing the ECU, the local parts place needs the vin, mileage,etc so they can flash it before sending it to me. Anyone had any luck changing the ECU? Thanks for your assistance.

| my 2000 jeep stalls intermittantly when it does the rpms go up but it feels like the brakes are on if i stop the rpms drop low and are erratic and when i shut it off it acts like it resets itself and drives normal. in the mornings going to work the overdrive wont kick in but if i stop and shut it off it will work normal after that i had a computer check done on it and it came back- overdrive switch input low,- transmission fault present, - fuel system lean,- trans relay output always off,- trd link communication error i took it to a transmission shop and they replaced the coil pack the filters and new fluid it worked ok for a couple days and then went right back to doing what it did before any ideas thanks | |

I have a beloved 1998 JGC Ltd. It has a rebuilt engine that has approx. 75,000 miles on it! I just had the housing unit between the engine and radiator (?) replaced in December. I know the wires and hoses are aging. Problem: After approx 2 minutes of running, it will completely die if it is not given gas. If I am at a light/stop sign/slowing down, etc, I must keep foot on gas as I brake or it will die...no sputter, no engine light, no warning- just die. Seems to do this whether gas tank is full or low, and whether it is warm or cold outside. It was doing this intermittently, but now does it all the time. Husband tried doing internal diagnostic check, but no luck. Anyone else w/ similar problem or ideas. We are going to buy a new car soon anyway, but I would love to pass my Jeep on to my nephew, but I want it to run for him! Thanks! |
