I have a problem and was hoping that one of you could help me with this.
My 1988 Cherokee Limited will turn over and start but will immediately die within 1 second of it starting.

 

well..... first I would check the MAP sensor (center firewall) check the hose going to it also and the connector on the back of the throttle body. Also have you tried giving it gas as soon as it starts? If there is lots of smoke and/or a stumble it's the MAP sensor

 

yeah when i try and give it gas it dies..
i'll go check the map sensor now.

 

fuel pump resistor try bypassing it

 

the map sensor is all hooked up.

 

i replaced the resistor a couple weeks ago. its all good to go.

 

by pass it ,never leave any thin out....

 

process of elimination is how you figure out whats wrong with vechicles ,good luck...

 

just to make sure i'm doing this right. How do i do this?

 

go simple... fuel filter?
coil
ign. switch on column/or the box under dash
battery
grounds
fuel pressure regulator... pull the hose off the fuel rail (does it smell like gas)
