Re: 2004 Jeep GC 4X4 stalls on city road
Leave the key in the ON position for 5 seconds, then turn the key. This will
allow the fuel system to pressurize.
If if doesn't start, try pressing down on the gas pedal while cranking the
engine. If you can't get it started, bring it to the dealership.

Re: 2004 Jeep GC 4X4 stalls on city road
When you turn the igntition to start did it crank the motor? Did the
starter engage the motor or did it just spin? As in, did the engine make
it's usual 'chug, chug' cranking noise or was it a much different and higher
pitched spinning noise? If it cranked but didn't fire it'd most likely be
the CPS or a fuel problem. But if it just sat there and spun the starter
motor then it'd be the start solenoid or its relay.
There's a BIG difference between cranking the engine over and just spinning
the starter. They're nothing like each other and not something easily
confused. So which actually happened?
Since it's new you should of course make the dealer fix it.

Re: 2004 Jeep GC 4X4 stalls on city road
Thank you for showing me how to get fault codes L.W. ------ III. I got
two fault codes:
P1489 (M) High Speed Fan CTRL Relay Circuit
An open or shorted condition detected in the control circuit of the
high-speed radiator fan control relay.
P1490 (M) Low Speed Fan CTRL Relay Circuit
An open or shorted condition detected in control circuit of the
low-speed radiator fan control relay.
I do not believe the large radiator fan is running, jsut after starting
the engine or after driving 20 miles.
Could this be the cause of engine stall?

Re: 2004 Jeep GC 4X4 stalls on city road
to check the fan, rig up some test wires and run the fan directly to the
battery, if the fan runs then its the relay for the fan. I'm not sure the
GC has the ability to shut the engine off if it reaches a over heating
condition, generally most vehicles don't. Could just have been that the
engine temp. was high enough and when you applied the gas to move it
stalled, I've had this happen with my car on occasion. What was the temp.
gauge showing when the engine died? if it was in the normal range I would
still be guessing a CPS, many times if its intermittent the CPS fault code
wont be captured by the computer ,that was the case with mine when the CPS
was intermittent. The dealer change the CPS on speculation as the fuel pump
was working fine and everything else checked out ok.

battery, if the fan runs then its the relay for the fan. I'm not sure the
GC has the ability to shut the engine off if it reaches a over heating
condition, generally most vehicles don't. Could just have been that the
engine temp. was high enough and when you applied the gas to move it
stalled, I've had this happen with my car on occasion. What was the temp.
gauge showing when the engine died? if it was in the normal range I would
still be guessing a CPS, many times if its intermittent the CPS fault code
wont be captured by the computer ,that was the case with mine when the CPS
was intermittent. The dealer change the CPS on speculation as the fuel pump
was working fine and everything else checked out ok.

Thank you for showing me how to get fault codes L.W. ------ III. I got
two fault codes:
P1489 (M) High Speed Fan CTRL Relay Circuit
An open or shorted condition detected in the control circuit of the
high-speed radiator fan control relay.
P1490 (M) Low Speed Fan CTRL Relay Circuit
An open or shorted condition detected in control circuit of the
low-speed radiator fan control relay.
I do not believe the large radiator fan is running, jsut after starting
the engine or after driving 20 miles.
Could this be the cause of engine stall?
