#576 of 586 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Starts and dies after a few seconds. by mmalungo Oct 21, 2009 (3:56 pm)
I have a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, in the last few days i haven't been able to drive it. It starts, but after a few seconds it dies, has been always like that. What could be the possible problems. I thought it was the alarm system because before i had a problem in which the car wouldnt start, because i had lost the remote, but i'm just confused. Anybody has an idea what it might be?

Replying to: osborneash2 (Oct 20, 2009 5:14 pm) I have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee a year ago I had the same problem turned out to be the tac censor located on to of the transmission on the bell housing. Not hard to replaced except for where its located a couple of extentions ans 1/4 " rachet and socket should help out.

2000 Jeep grand cherokee pushing 215,000. miles stills runs good but now at low idle in or out of gear it idles at or bellow 5,000 rpm sometimes so low that it stalls out. When I give it gas it runs good until the vehicle comes to a stop, then it dies. Temperature does seem to have an effect the colder the outside temp or if the eng is cold it seems to do it more often, It is not a consistent problem, but it occurs often. I took it to a shop a while back they said the check eng light threw out air intake censor problem, I replaced it twice each time it helps for a little while then goes back to same old pattern. Now whatever code its throwing out, the check eng light does not stay on all the time, its on and off. I am kind of tight on cash right now specially the way things are these days, Just getting the code read is going to cost over $100.00, am a diesel mechanic but gas engines are a headache! Does any body have any advice? Please hellllpppppp!!!!!!!! Replies to this message: aneke007 (Nov 16, 2009 3:15 pm) alby3 (Nov 17, 2009 5:31 am)

Replying to: osborneash2 (Oct 20, 2009 5:14 pm) I have been experiencing the same thing and have had my Jeep in the shop since May and have not been able to drive it. I had them Change the crank shaft sensor, the cam shaft censor, and the temp censor, all with great expense and none of it worked. When it was put on the machine to see what was wrong it always came up as the crank shaft and cam sensors. I called my dad and he called everyone he knew with a jeep and low and behold the problem was a $30.00 part called the ignition coil. It took five minutes to put on. My Jeep is now running. Thank God! Hope this helps.

Replying to: jhonp (Nov 12, 2009 5:45 pm) Auto zone $ 30.00 ignition coil you can put on yourself. This part does not show up on those machines. My car would come to a stop and die. I would drive and would stall, it was hesitant and not a consistant problem. My dad researched and found that several people have the same problem. Most people have changed their crank sensor and cam shafts twice before asking a friend with a Jeep if they knew what the problem was. It is the ignition coil that sends the right information to the car iginition system to function properly. Good Luck.

Replying to: jhonp (Nov 12, 2009 5:45 pm) same problem.... 87,000 2000 grand cherokee 4.7l when i let off the gas it might stall. happens 1 to 4 times a day. GOT NO CODES..... so far i have replaced the crank shaft sensor - it stopped stalling for 3 days $130 cleaned the throttle boddy free replaced the throttle position sensor $72 replaced the idle air control sensor $132 replaced the map manafold airflow sensor $125 no luck it is still stalling. by the way i have done all the work myself. it was about 30 minutes for most parts NOT POSITIVE ON THE PARTS PRICES i just ordered a rebuilt ecu or pcu engine control unit. they program in the vin, mileage and part nbr so you gc will recognize it. $185 we will see when that comes..... SWAPPED OUT THE ECU AND THIS SEEMS TO HAVE SOLVED IT........ IF I WERE YOU I WOULD START WITH THE ECU alan

Replying to: spriest (Jul 28, 2009 2:31 am) Did you figure this out? My 99 grand cherokee just did this yesterday. first thing, i started car but got strange abs light on, i gave gas, it went out, and i drove. after i shut off, i tried to start again, acted like no batterey, no cranking, no interior lights or dash lights, then gauges flipped to max, interior light worked, radio clock at 12:00, dash lights ok and started. i turned off and on a few times ok, then it does again.Battery is strong when system comes back up and starts right up, but acts like no battery or bad batterey when fail is happening. i read a similar post that someone said ignition coil, could it be a intermittent short? I had a new crank position sensor 3 months ago, that was a different problem, car cranked but would not fire for that problem. This one acts like battery is not on.  Below is the post i am replying to.   "I had the EXACT same problem yesterday. My issue began after the vehicle was running. I heard a loud pop from the radio speakers and observed the voltage gauge floating while driving. After I got home and turned the Jeep off, it would not crank. No interior or brake lights, nothing at all that indicated I even had a battery connected. All of my gauges were pulsing and flipping over wildly with or without the key in the ignition and I could hear a faint clicking noise timed perfectly with the pulsing of the gauges. I let it sit for about an hour and it finally looked normal on the dash and sure enough - it turned over fine and all my gauges are back to normal. Even the pre-sets on the radio are still there. The only noticeable difference is that my clock on the radio is wrong. Did you ever find out the problem? Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so - what's my next step in troubleshooting this issue?"
#585 of 586 will not start by alby3 Nov 19, 2009 (1:05 pm)
last time mine would not start, the battery cable was loose..... just a little but it was enough, cleaned the post and the cable reconnected and it has been fine since.
