#36 of 40 Help my jeep has starting problems in the hot weather by kattykat Jun 24, 2009 (8:55 pm)
Help, the summer is here and my 94 4.0 6 cyc.Grand Cherokee has a starting problem when it gets hot outside. A short scenario my jeep runs great never any problems until the summer and warm weather arrives. I can drive it to a few places in the morning stopping and starting with no problem but then maybe later in the day say I go to a store park come back out 20 minutes later turn on the ignition and it will not start. The ignition will keep cranking but it will not start. If I pop open the hood to the engine, open the doors and wait 10 minutes it will start every time. But this is very irritating and frustrating to deal with. I have had it to the Jeep dealership 3 times for this problem and of course by the time they get around to looking at it the car will start. If any body out there has any suggestions to offer I would be very grateful since this has been a couple of years dealing with this. Thanks so much Kattykay Replies to this message: tidester (Jun 24, 2009 10:35 pm) kattykat (Jun 26, 2009 7:27 pm) gold_inline (Oct 02, 2009 6:15 pm)

Replying to: kattykat (Jun 24, 2009 8:55 pm) That might be a problem with the fuel pump. Or it could be as simple as a faulty gas cap. Try loosening the cap then try starting your Cherokee after you replace it.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: kattykat (Jun 26, 2009 7:27 pm) gold_inline (Oct 02, 2009 6:15 pm)

Replying to: tidester (Jun 24, 2009 10:35 pm) Thanks, I already know that it is not the fuel pump. So I quess I will try the gas cap. Replies to this message: gold_inline (Oct 02, 2009 6:15 pm)

Replying to: kattykat (Jun 26, 2009 7:27 pm) It just happened to me. I got the crank sensor replaced tonite and tomorrow will have the cam sensor replaced- they work hand in hand and operate by virtue of magnets to detect the timing and exchange of fuel and air to the engine. Expensive though.

Replying to: vfreen (Apr 26, 2009 6:05 pm) Was also having this problem. Changed the crank shaft sensor, plugs & wires, ignition coil. What it comes down to are the connectors/connections that go into the PCM. There was a post on another board I read to zip tie (2 zip ties on each plug) the connectors to the PCM. Zip ties should go all around the backside of the PCM. I did this 3 weeks ago and no stalls. It's not a fix, but a bandaid that works.
