Hey guys, Im a new owner of a 89 Cherokee with the I6, Auto tranny, when ever its cold it will just shut off, it will let me start it, take off and then just dies. It starts just fine. Any Ideas??

 

Cold as in cold weather, or cold as in cold from sitting without running??

 

it starts when its cold from sitting for along time. but then when i take my foot off the gas to take the corner a 1/4 of a block from my house and start to turn it will die. but then it will start right back up...

also i closing i agree about you pit bull theory!!! i have a 100 pound full blooded american rott....

 

Too lean, not enough fuel, if its carberated, the float might be stuck, if it's fuel injected check the coponents for carbon build up or pump for any problems, you can do a good diagnostic with a manual and a multimeter, but i would check with cleaning it first, its starving for gas!

 

I agree!!

Sounds like a fuel delivery issue to me. Gearheadette is steering you in the right direction.

 

Out of curiosity does it stay on in park? (or neutral?) can you smell gas out of the exhaust?

change air filter, clean the fuel injectors/carb?

 

Had the same prob it was the small resistor on the inner fender next to the air box I replaced the pump, relay, filter and the regulator nothing worked, then checked the resistor and it was burnt in half replaced it $6.00 at napa worked great ever since.
