96 Cherokee keeps dying while driving help
I was having some similar issues with my 94, the power part was the battery lead to the starter. it had gotten corroded so I spliced a new terminal connector and re installed works fine now. and the stalling part if it hasn't been solved yet, I read some post then skipped, mine turned out to be the plug going to the coil was bad, again spliced and reconnected and haven't had problems with the stalling anymore. <also make sure the coil wire going to the distributor isn't making contact with the heat shield, had an issue with that at one time. hope this can help someone
My 96 Cherokee country keeps dying while driving I have been searching the forums and have tried a new CPS/TPS fuel pump and filter a new distributor and cap all to no avail it's an intermittent problem but today it happened over a dozen times in 2 miles and I had to wait almost 20 minutes just to get it to start once it dies it doesn't want to start back up and act's like it's not getting spark im at my wit's end anybody got any suggestions???
