96 Grand Cherokee - Stalling... Replaced CPS .... Different stalling

rick.skowyra · 2005-07-30T00:05:51+00:00

96 Grand Cherokee.196K miles on it.It was intermittantly dying with the RPMs dropping to zero immediately. No rattle, no shake to suggest anything other than electric problem.After investigation and error code 11, I decided to replace the CPS(crank position sensor).Bought the part myself, but didn't have the right tools to install.Gave it to a mechanic instead.Picked it up after labor done, started up fine.However, on the way home, it died again. Can't get it started.This time, there was sputtering before it died.Not an immediate shut off.Then couldn't get it started again, and it was catching and sputteringunlike the stalls before the CPS was replaced.Waited about a half hour, tried to start again, and stars up and runsperfectly. I haven't tried to start it again for fear of it dying onme.Any ideas???Could it be possible that the sensor wasn't installed properly?Is there a way that the sensor gets heated up and doesn't workproperly?I don't think it's a fuel pump problem.I hear the pump start with the key turn.Thanks much

How hard is it to change the asd relay and fuel pump relay ? Where are they located ?

I finally figured it out. Turns out the problem was still the CPS! The one that I got installed was faulty and would cause a stall when it was warmed up! New crank sensor and away go!

Thanks for all your help guys.

Rick S did pass the time by typing:

Where did you get the b0rked sensor?

Sometimes I wonder about using NAPA or aftermarket vs going OEM.

I got the sensor at a local AUTOZONE.

What was the final solution to this Jeep stalling? What fixed it? I'm having the exact same problem on a 96 Jeep GC! I have the exact same syptoms. The crank sensor has been replace. Did the camshaft PS solve this?

Thank

Joh
