Alright so after some reading apparently there is a PDM (Power Door Control Module) in the passenger door.

When my locks stopped working, I could hear a clicking in the passenger door. I'm thinking the PDM might be the culprit.

But, I had door panel off last week when I fixed the window regulator. And I didn't see any box or anything. So is the PDM inside the box that houses the switches for the passenger door?

Sounds like somethings wrong with the regulator worm gear thing or the motor itself. Only thing you can do is take it apart and inspect it.

I just recently fixed passenger window after it wouldnt roll up and fell in the door one night.

Default Hi everyone

I have a 1996 Cherokee, 2 wheel drive with inline 6. Recently when I start it, it fires right up. I get where I need to go turn it off, do what I need to do, come back to the jeep and start it and it shuts down a second later. It ends up taking me between 5 to 15 times of starting it and it shutting off on its own before it finally stays on. I have had it for a couple years now and have always changed oil and trans. fluid on time, I changed the fuel, oil, air filters, spark plugs and wires, starter, and battery. I have no idea what is causing this! I took it down to autozone to have a code check and it comes back with no codes. I tried starting it up this morning and now it wont even turn on! I need help! Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Check all the battery connections and make sure they are good and have a solid connection... Does it act like a dead battery or does it still try to turn over? When you tried to start it up after you came back after doing your stuff did it sputter like a heat soak issue?

Ya I like loud lol. And its a 44 haha. I'm not sure if the exhaust place will take it when when they cut it off. If they let me keep it then ill probably try to get $40 or so out of it. It's not even a year old.

It will turn over all day long, sometimes it starts to catch but it just won't fire up.

Google "injector heat soak". That sounds like you have issues either with spark or fuel. Verify spark, then Google the "injector heat soak" and narrow it down from there. Hope that helps.

If there is no spark or intermittent spark check you crankshaft positioning sensor. There are many write ups on the forum for them.

If a fuel issue verify pressure at the rail the move to the injectors.

On this muffler: http://performance-curve.com/flowmas...series225.aspx

can you reverse the inlet/ outlet so that its center inlet offset outlet?
