Grand Cherokee stalls when driving, at stops, very random, need help
Hi there!
I'm Ted from California, I have a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 147,000 miles, inline 6, I have a few concerns about the vehicle. Truck runs well, acceleration is excellent EXCEPT for when she stalls!!!
1) The truck stalls out while driving on streets, at stop signs, out of the blue, after running excellent. it will stall out, I have to usually wait a minute or two, and starts right up. I have to wait out that minute because if I attempt to restart it just keeps choking and nothing happens.
2) I use premium gas, don't drive it hard, get regular maintenance (oil change, tune up, etc)
3) A few neighbors have told me it might be the fuel pump?
Any suggestions are of great help to me and my wife, as we want to target the problem before being gouged at an auto repair shop just to diagnose. This is my first Jeep, and I love it, also my first truck. Its a great truck and we want to target these problems.
- Ted ( I also posted this once earlier, in the Cherokee forum, wasn't sure if it was in the right place )
