Jeep Stalling

That could easily be the bad connection on the CPS issue. The best cleaner for the computer signal plug is electronic contact cleaner but WD40 will work in a pinch.

The CPS is on the drivers side bell housing and the plug is either on the intake manifold or over above the dipstick I hear on some. You can just follow the wires to get to it anyway.

our 96 grand cherokee would stall at idle intermittently.It was due to the tourqe converter staying locked.We changed the transmission filter and solved the problem.We usually wind up having to change the filter every

Where is the transmission filter? Is it in the transmission? I looked on my alldata for filters but didnt hit transmission, does it have another name?

thx,

The filter is internal to the automatic tranny. Parts stores sell them.

If the auto tranny is the issue, dropping it to neutral will avoid the trouble, but it still should start right back up.

another name?

another name?

Could be CPS or could be your fuel pump is going (not unheard of at

Exactly the same symptom as my '84 CJ7. Turned out to be the ignition module. Tested bad on the tester at Auto Zone. No problem since replacing it.

Mine did!

Could be lots of things.

I had a similar problem with my 97 TJ, and it was the ignition switch

What kind of odometer do you have? Is it a electronic one? If so, turn your ignition to on, then off, then on, then off, then on again. Don't crank it. You should then get any diag codes from the computer that you can look up where the milage is normaly displayed. If it goes straight to done, then there are no codes. Otherwise, you will need to take it in to someone with a code reader to see if there are any engine codes that might give you a clue as to what is going on...

The trouble isn't with the CPS if it starts back up, but with the 'connection' on the plug to the CPS. Sure changing the thing will give you half of the trouble replaced and a new scratch on the other half, but a clean should be all it needs.

I also had the exact symptoms of a CPS failure when the ground strap from the rear of the engine head to the firewall failed. The vehicle can steal a ground and work intermittently.

just checked the codes again. It shows a cam shaft position sensor being the culprit. Looking to replace cam shaft and possibly clean the CPS connection. Will let you all know how it goes.

You have 2 CPS's!!!!

One is the Cam sensor, the other is the Crank sensor!!!!

Clean them both eh...

Mike

Thanks... Will give them both a try...
