just got my jeep running (cps, melted 02 sensor wiring) but now i have another issue. every 3-5 minutes the engine will randomly act like its gonna die and stumble for a second, then resume running fine. most of the time i can get it to do this by opening the drivers side door? really weird...
any ideas?

 

you must have a hot wire grounding.

 

That's a tough one. Leave the door closed? Just kidding... maybe start measuring for a grounded wire in your door switch? With a multimeter of course.

 

sorry to bump this dead thread up, but this started giving me more trouble.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram of where all the ground wires are located? I found the ones on the engine, but i need to work my way from the firewall back.

Thanks!

 

I think you need to look for a power wire that is grounding out.

 

Check inside the rubber door boot - it is a mess in there.

Kind of having the same Problem as you bud... But now mine wont start without a second batterie thats grounded in the back.. the minute i let take the other batterie off it dies... and wont start back up unless the other batterie is hooked up.. ground Wires are ****ed some were but i cant find it o.o

 

sounds obviously stupid, but this all started around the time my friend stuck a 556 shell in the cigarette lighter hole. it immediately killed my turn signals and radio, both of which still do not work. all the fuses are good too. I did not notice the engine issues right off, so it must be getting progressively worse somehow...

 

That moron shorted out a wire somewhere. Electrical gremlins are a real pain to track down.

 

just wondering, was there a particular reason that your friend did that?
