why not scan the PCM first (OBD2?)
2wd or 4wd ?
no miles told on car, 300k miles>? or?
NO year or VIN or Engine told. 2002 to 2012 .
"I
pulled it means ",you out side car pulling it to move it brakes all off? I can not understand this statement.
so sorry .
but have done it vast times (pushing), and checked brakes. and inspected brakes for rotor warp ,cracks or calipers seized. *and hand brake fails, car must be in neutral to push it. (park locks rear wheels)
and seems key to me.
ok brakes are failing or the engine is weak
so if brakes are not failing then the engine is weak.
it's not slipping transmission as RPM are low.
i can name 50 causes and 10 to 20 tests
top cause is low fuel pressure.
engines used (not told)
"the 150 horsepower (110 kW) 2.4 L straight-4, which was discontinued in 2006, and the 210 horsepower (160 kW) 3.7 L V6, as well as a short-lived 2.8 L VM Motori turbo diesel (2005-2006 only).[6]
2008 I4 dropped and , diesel to dropped"
only 3.7L V6 (a fine engine I have,)
my V6 is chain drive cam and very strong.
when power is lost we put in a new ACC belt,new filters and new spark plugs. called a tune up, ever do one?
the belt new saves engine overheat damage $$$$$$$
my v6 (2010 grand Cherokee)
uses 4 things to make power. (besides spark not bad)
- a working FPR (fuel pressure reg.) a tool
- good fuel pump both are tests using gauge tool PSI. (service manual covers all this)
- or even bad fuel, in the tank.
- and working MAP sensor and for sure not clogged up.(vac port end)
and more, bad engines happen... compression tests.
I use the scan tool and PID scan every sensors in the on the engine, and no DTC errors.
and make sure ECT reads 180F+ when engine is fully warm/hot. if way LOW the thermostat is bad.
most 11 year old thermostats (car 2012) are bad.
or older car. I'd not run one over that. risky to engine,.
tell more get more.
do a tune up fully
scan it.
clean the MAP fully
full brake inspection any time car can not be pushed by hand in Neutral. key off. (not park ) hand brake off.
yes hand brakes fail too ,rear. this brake is small drum brake and can seize, main brakes are all calipers x4
all can cause seize up.(or be intermittent !!!!)
if car has brake problems do not drive the car fix it first.
even ABS can fail. (I purge mine every year DOT fluid)
ok there are some ideas, to try.
my guess is brakes bad or was in PARK
if not scan the engine.
