My 1988 jeep grand cherokee stalls after running for a short while then wont restart for at least 15 minutes

When i start the car for the first each day it runs until it gets warm then it stalls and it takes at least 15 minutes before it will restart. then it will only run a few more mintes before it stalls again. It does this continuely. I have replaced the distributor and the ignition modual as I was told to do and it has not changed. It continues to stall and the duration of run time is getting shorter.

I saw what you replaced, didn't see any testing?
The basics, if it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse.
How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes?

SOURCE: Car starts, drive a mile, stalls.

try haviing your alternator checked advance auto parts can check it while its on the car and the can check the battery too. if thats not it it may stall due to a loose battery connection or a loose ground strap. if it stalls and everything turns of (electrical) it may be a connection or ground strap.

SOURCE: i have a 1996 jeep grand cherokee that is stalling

sounds like you may have a fuel delivery problem,There is a fuel regulator that keeps a steady pressure this may have the same tendencies as a fuel pump cavatating also,Have a good garage do a fuel flow test as well as a fuel pump pressure test.

SOURCE: Car starts fine..Idle is fast...stalls after car warms up

Check for vacuum leaks. Also try cleaning the ISV.


If that doesnt work go to vwvortex.com and post your issue there

I have a 1997 jeep grand Cherokee limited addition. that Stalls

Hi! I had the exact same problem with my jeep before. The wiring (located on the back wall on passanger side to the left) You will see three sets of plugs with a lot of wires on them. I had to get everyone replaced and the wires rewired and sautered together. My truck would backfire so bad it busted my muffler 3 times!! So, try that and I think it will solve the problem.

2004 jeep grand cherokee loredo will start and run for 3-5 minutes then stall , and then wont start for about another 5-10 minutes .

Sounds like a clogged fuel filter ( cheap and easy to change) and should be to avoid this as it can lead to a sluggish or failed fuel pump.

Fuel filters are sometimes clear plastic so you can see the grunge through teh little housing while others are metal housings and you change em cause its time if you cannot remember having done so.

My jeep wont start. we checked the battery. the jeep will idle for a few seconds and then when you hit the gas it stalls

try starting it with the pedal pressed in a little and run it for a few seconds like that and put some injector cleaner in it. also if it stalled and wont restart then try pressing the pedal all the way to the floor because it could be flooded and that will cut off the fuel supply

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee...Blowing ASD fuse

My daughters jeep had the same problem. We fixed by finding the wires that run beside the manifold down under the car. The conduit that have the wires in it was worn away because of resting up against the manifold, causing the wires to short the system out. Once I replaced the conduit and taped the wires it has not shorted out again. By the way, the Jeep dealer couldn't find the problem.

2000 grand cherokee stalls

try replacing the idle air control motor or IAC for short. i actually had one at work today with your same complaint. and sure enough the valve was a carboned up and wouldnt work properly. and its nearly impossible to clean to the point where it will work properly. cost for the part at a dealer is about $115.
