Hey,
So I have a 89 cherokee. A couple days ago I was driving her and all of the sudden she stalled on me. I tried to jump start it wouldn't work. After that failed I waited for my dad to come home because he's the technician. When we got to the car it started right up and i was able to driver her home.
After a looking and trying to figure out what it was that stalled my car, I replaced my battery. It worked for about half an hour and she gave up again. Long story short it happened again and again.
So what i did to the car is the following:
I took out the gas tank to see if it was rusty. Turned out it was clean.
Then i looked at the fuel line which seem to be fine as well.
after having everything put back together started ehr up again worked.
I tried driving her around the block but she stopped not 100yards from my house.
The things i figured out are that as soon as the car runs a little hotter than usual it stops.
Also i checked the spark plugs and they are dry after the car stalls. However the fuel pump works.
Then i tried to test the spark plug after having the car run warm for a while and there was no spark.


I know this is a lot to read and I'm sorry that most of what i wrote is unorganised.
But thank you for your patience.

 

check your cps thats the first cause I go to when something electrical goes wrong in a jeep. its a pain in the butt!!! you can test it or just replace it.

 

thanks for the advice ill look into it.

 

if the jeep boogs out you might try the idle air control valve or the throttle positiong sensor

 

i just replaced the cps. which was infact a pain to replace. it seems that it just turned bad. so now i just gotta wait and see what happens, im pretty sure that it won't happen again though.
thank you for giving me the advice i really appreciate it

 

smae thing happened to me. but yeah I hope it stays working for you

 

Hey where is the cps. Located cause my Jeep act like its not getting gas and I changed fuel pump the filter and all. It had water in gas tank

 

on the firewall drivers side of the block. look for the plug to it and then follow it down. its hard to change while still in the vehicle not gonna lie.
