97 jeep grand cherokee laredo 4.0 4x4 195k miles starts up and runs during the day but has a few hickups but stays running. when i go to start it at night after 8pm it runs for 2 minutes then shuts off like its not getting any fuel to the engine. then i start it up again and 10 minutes later it does it again. after several attempts to get it to stay running it finally stays running and i can drive home and sometimes hickups on the way home but stays running. it doesnt matter if its up to temperature or not when it kills the engine.
Hello Marc Miller,
BAFFLED:
I am a bit confused by your remark
"at night after 8pm" but I think I understand.
I have personal experience that FULL-MOON affects
PEOPLE... but the CARS/TRUCKS... Not so much.
My guess is a READ-OUT of your DIAGNOSTIC
TROUBLE CODES (DTC) would (in the hands of
an accomplished mechanic is going to point out
your issue(s).
Some muffler shops and parts houses provide
these services for FREE...
(just know your options/prices before you go
(see below)).
Other than I personally believe you are
headed HOME (family, hearth & heart) you
probably suffer the torment all day long...
but it really stings when you want to be home...
I doubt any OTHER relevance to "8pm"...
ESPECIALLY since about 70% of this planets'
people just set our clocks forward AN HOUR
only a few weeks ago...
Another thing that has baffles... is your muffler.
Although the exterior MAY look intact...
195,000 miles is not a bad ... I have experienced
your trouble...
When a car runs "sometimes" that eliminates a
TON of considerations... (things that are OK).
Once the code are read... the FIRST MISTAKE
EVERYBODY makes is to change out perfectly
good OXYGEN SENSORS...
They are only upset because your
catalytic converter AND/OR muffler
are LIKELY keeping your EXHAUST from
getting out...
Just a thought...

Alarm Module Reset Procedure
NOTE: This information applies to a Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) that was armed when the battery was disconnected and reconnected.
When the armed VTSS senses that the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it enters its power-up mode. In the power-up mode the alarm system remains armed following a battery failure or disconnect. If the VTSS was armed prior to a battery disconnect or failure, the system will have to be actively or passively disarmed following a battery reconnection.
The power-up mode will also apply if the battery goes dead while the system is armed and battery jump-starting is attempted. The engine no-run feature will prevent the engine from starting until the alarm system has been actively or passively disarmed.
Passive disarming of the Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) occurs when the vehicle is unlocked using the key to unlock either front door or the lift gate. Active disarming of the VTSS occurs when the vehicle is unlocked by depressing the Unlock button of the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
Once the alarm has been activated (horn sounding, lights flashing, and the engine no-run feature), either disarming method will deactivate the alarm.
Depressing the Panic button (if equipped) on the RKE transmitter will also disarm the VTSS, but the horn will sound and the lights will flash for about three minutes as part of the Panic feature. The horn and lights can be stopped by pressing any of the RKE transmitter's buttons or driving the vehicle above 15 mph.

it is possable/likely a bad ECTS (engine coolant tep. sensor), this can cause the injectors to allow to much fuel into cylinders and cause a low compression and or flooding situation, good luck, marty

Hey Mudkicker,
Who ever thought of putting an electric fuel pump inside a tank of gas........
Check your other gauges for accuracy. They do that when a ground is loose.
Check the wiring from the fuel tank along the longitudinal frame for frays and shorts. Plugs are secured.
Under the hood, passenger side, check the fuel pump relay. Switch it with one of the others to test it.
Bring the vehicle to an auto parts store. Ask them to break out he code reader. Check for diag codes
Comment me back
Mike.
