Good afternoon to all you jeep fans out there. I would need some help whit my 1994 2.1 TD jeep cherokee. by my opinion, the problem whould be that its geting air in the fuel line or that it is creating vacuum somewhere in the fuel line. but my opinions have not solved the problem yet. the thing is that I can start it(sometimes a lilttle bit harder) and I can drive with it for some while, 5-10min and then it starts to lose power and when I press the clutch, it goes off. the solution is to open the hood and to open the air valve placed above the fuel filter and then I can drive again for about 5 minutes before it stops again. I have changed the fuel filter, air filter and oil filter together with the oil but it didnt help. one mechanic told me that the fuel line going from the tank to the filter could be damaged and causing this problem. I need to solve the problem as soon as possible because for the weekend I should go for a longer trip with it and I can not delay it. thnx in advance for any anwsers. greetings by Mirza from Norway

I had the same problem and I found out that the battery was bad. since everything runs off the computer there wasnt enough juice to run both the car and the computer the jeep ran good after putting a new battery in it. so try this first before you spend a lot of money on a shop fix because they wont think about the battery being bad. they will want to replace everything but. hope this helps

fuel filter sounds like it is a prime suspect. if cat convertor it will be extremely hot possibly glowing as this goes on.

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.

I have a 1996 Grand Cherokee - the same problem, except my interior lights flash on and off at the same time. Did you get your problem solved?

Your fault need identification after the vehicle is parked for a long time. The nearest possible area of doubt is the condition of the engine. You have not specified the mileage clocked and the regularity of periodic service because if this is done systematically there can be lesser areas to look for in our trouble shooting solution. Hencce to start with your fuel pump, the fuel filter and see if the fuel drains off inthe fuel system when parked for long time. If so identify whether it is in the fuel system or the pump. If fuel seems fine, the engine compression, valve setttings must be in order for a quick start. If this shows good reading, asssesment of the compression of each cylinder by a test of the pressure of air exhausting in each of the cylinders is good. If this looks ok then check on the to the actuator or the auto choke valve. If possible drain off/ run off your fuel and try a different higher grade. I have the feeling that the fault could be the firing or the fuel both of which you can check on alternate days before starting( for petrol check your plugs, your HT coils or replace, for diesel check your glow plugs and replace if bad or worn out ). Hope I could assist. Good day
