Run the fault codes and look for an over heat sensor failure. Thai will stop the engine firing as the cpu believes that the engine is overheating and has shut down. It will show any other faults likely to cause the problem

1994 Grand Cherokee, 5.2 V8 shuts off when hot. Cool for an hour or 2, starts up after a half hour or so, then dies again. No trouble codes except 12 and 55; I pulled fuses to check them, hence the code...

NOTE: With the jeep cherokees. the Check Engine light if continuously driven with it on for more than 25 minutes whilst still traveling will engage the "PCM self protect" usually around the 27minute mark,and shut down the vehicle, and yes it takes 90 minutes to reset,

you might find that you will arrive ok, at your destination with this issue... pull up, and then it wont start again a few minutes later, this is the PCM Shutdown protection.....when the check engine light is on means the PCM is reset,found the error and why you can only run the car with the check engine light for about half an hour.

"You can however drive and turn the car off and coast in neutral and turn on the vehicle again to buy yourself more time with the "Check Engine time limit shutoff"

happened to me in mine, the error codes never showed up for the crankshaft position sensor
either...

i replaced the crankshaft position sensor under the transmission case, and it got rid of the issue this crank sensor is a common cause of the cherokees , it could no longer read the speed of the crankteeth. and can't get a reading the car is still running hence the shutdown, also you will find it also controls the PCM to engage your second fan on the radiator because it cant tell the vehicle is still running, and causes the PCM to get confused and wont let the rest of the engine function properly ie: coolant sensors, and Thermostat sensors, and you will find it overheats and needs to cool some times...which is why the PCM shutsdown the car.....try the crankshaft position sensor replacement under the transmission it's usually the cause of this on all cherokees "makes no difference if its a V8 or not by the way, same thing happens on 4.0 straight six engines also" .

My 95 tahoe starts but dont stay on. Fuel wont stay pumping from tbi. Just swapped a motor from 80's camaro. Was running real good in box chevy perfect. Now fuel wont stay flowing out of injectors. Already...

did you install the oil pressure switch origional to the tahoe? The tahoe uses a low oil pressure shutdown, instead of an inertia switch to shut off the fuel pump in the event of an accident. If the pressure circuit does not close within 3 seconds after the engine starts the fuel pump shuts off. This is in case the truck is on its side or upside down the pump will shut off.

Occasionally my 99 Sable won't restart till after 3/4 hour wait

There is a condition called thermal breakdown in ignition parts( ie: spark control modules). Pretty common really in older stuff. Why does it happen only after shutdown? because of a condition called heat soak. underhood temps rise higher than ever right after shutdown. Your ignition module is mounted to the side of the distributor. If practical when the problem happens pour cold water on the module give it one minute and see if it starts(wont damage it) if it starts right up you proved it bad. Hope I helped Thanks
