Last night I drove to the hospital and back with no prob. Parked the car and the next morning tried to start and it didn't want to. Turned key, engine turned over and didn't start. Tried again while giving gas and started up but all interior light dimmed and as soon as i let the gas pedal go car completely shut off. Any suggestions?

I have a 93 Cherokee that starts fine and runs fine, but occasionally the engine just cuts out without warning. It usually restarts right away, but sometimes takes several minutes. I just bought it, so I am not too familiar with it. Some of the gauges jump when I start it, but otherwise there aren't any obvious problems with the vehicle other than the locks need lubing. It has 125k miles on it. I bought it "as is", so I expected there might be a problem or two, but this particular one is obnoxious. The body is rough, but everything works EXCEPT for the stalling problem. HELP!!!!!!

Replying to: tuggajb (Nov 18, 2009 1:27 pm) The battery works fine. I have no charging problems, and it cranks fine after the stall. Plus, there is no sputtering or anything like that when it stalls. The engine just stops dead, and I have to wait a little while before it will start again sometimes (sometimes hours). I am not getting any check engine lights except when I initially turn the key on. Is that perhaps an indication that the computer is history? There doesn't seem to be any other problems in the electrical system. The car cranks fine after stalling, and the problem acts every bit like a loose wire problem. Any other suggestions? |

If the car is parked outside a lot, the connections at the battery tend to become corroded and act like a loose wire problem. Also, the engine grounding could have a similar problem if vehicle is parked outside. |
