My girlfriend has recently purchased a 98 jeep, and has had a few issues, one of which was fixed (a leaking fuel line) and the other I thought had been fixed until tonight. Basically the jeep will start the engine sounds good then it sputters and dies and refuses to start again for a few minutes, then it will start and stop again and then finally start up and go. I am unfortunately not very savvy with engines or issues like this, and I have no idea what the problem is, if anyone could help with possible problems or answers to those problems I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
J

 

It literally just left the mechanics a few days ago and seemed to be running fine no stalls no issues. And then colder weather hit and now its acting up again...

 

sounds like cam sensor is this the straight 6 or the v8 ? sounds like the cam sensor and has the plugs and rotor been done and wireset

 

Straight 6 yes, not sure about the rest. How do we go about fixing up those and or getting tests again I'm very un-savvy about this

 

well most common is the cam and crank u have to do them both as i always did and i have the v8 and it was a nightmare to change i will get the info from all data in the next 30 mins and post the info up for you i run ford forum and running some help to jeep forum and i'm in the search for one used good stupid part

 

this is what runs the timing for the distrubutor which are comon for going bad i would check all wires if the spark is weak this is at fault if no spark then the crank is mostly at fault i will post the info for both from all data
