How do you know it "loads up with gas"

If you are having trouble restarting the car, consider doing a test of fuel pressure. If its low/zero it could be a) leaking fuel pump (known problem, there is a kit to fix) or b) leaking injector. If you suspect b, go ahead and replace all of them. Jeep will run like new...Well, change timing chain as well - its not that timing chain breaks, its that it gets too much slack and the computer gets confused.

The temperature gauge on my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee started running hot (about 3/4 up), as soon as I start moving (even when the car is cold). It comes down to normal (about 50% on the gauge) when I stop...

Change the sensor, but it will run hot like that if you are not moving fluids across it. It is basically measuring air temp for a minute. Could be a totally stuck thermostat. Change both. That cooling system is critical on a cherokee.

02 Jeep Grand Cherokee jumps out of overdrive while driving on highway.

The torque converter is where OD takes place. Look at your transmission fluid cooler to see if it's blocked. The TCM module controls the OD functions so it may not be sending the correct signals.

02 jeep grand cherokee cuts off after reaching running temp. 4.0L no check engine

Are you topping off the gas tank (MAX OUT) while you're filling?

The emission control system can soak with gasoline if you over fill the tank.

Locate the emission line that lead to the charcoal canister and let it air out under direct sunlight.

After 1-2 hours,reconnect the line and use starting fluid to start the car.

After 10 minutes of warm up time,then take it for a short test drive.

Replaced radiator on 2008 jeep now gets hot & cuts off

I think it is related to the cooling system, still having air in it. Make sure the heater is running/on when your running the engine. Could be a faulty ECT sensor (engine coolant temp.) but proof it out. proof it out, remove the sensor and see if there is air behind it and see if the sensor is within parameters.

My 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee stright 6 cyl keeps over heating!!!

Usually the electric fan(s) are temperature activated. I would look into the temp switch. If you're not sure what it is, go to the auto parts place and ask for one. This way you can look at it then hunt for it under the hood. It usually screws into the engine in the cooling system. Also, make sure the fan has a good ground. Check for power to the fan when the engine warms up. If you have a/c, turn it on and the fan should come on whether the engine is warm or not.

Hope this helps. Good Luck
