Hi all Jeep Lovers,



Some time ago, I asked for your advice about the sudden stop of the engine of a '95 cherokee.



I had some usefull replies from you. I thank you for that.



I didn't had it repaired yet, because the dealer couldn't find anything wrong. (nothing showed up on their computer)



Now I had the engine stop twice and couldn't start it for a minute or 10. After a minute or 10 I could start again.



The answers you gave were about the engine coil, crank position sensor and the TDC sensor.



Now I want to have my Jeep repaired. Can anyone tell me, with this new 'stop' information, the most likely part to have replaced?



Thank you very much.



Frank.

Our 88 was doing this so I replaced the CPS thinking that is the 'usual' culprit. I got another 20 feet and it died again.

In my case it was a rotted mesh ground strap from the rear of the head up to the firewall and was a real easy fix.

That CPS is a pain to do. It takes a bunch of long extensions with a u-joint at the socket and a friend to hold it in place while you come at it from underneath.
