93' Grand Cherokee Runs Rich?
Hi All,
Today on a road trip, my Jeep, 93' Grand Cherokee Laredo, 6 cyl. auto, began
to accept no throttle without slogging down and nearly dying. After limping
along the side of the highway for a quarter mile, it suddenly seemed to
clear and work well for 20 more miles. Then the same thing over again.
When it happens, I can press the throttle slightly and get increasing revs,
coasting in neutral. Press it too much though or put it under load, and it
looses revs. It will not maintain speed.
Have you ever had a weed eater that acted like that? Almost like it's trying
to flood out.
Now, I did find the vacuum tube from the head cover to the intake manifold
collapsed. It was fowled. I cleared it and ran the car 40 miles. Thought I
had the problem fixed but then it happened again, just as bad.
Recent repairs made: I had the alternator replaced day before yesterday.
That's about it. Ideas? Any questions? This is a hard problem to describe.
Thanks all.
Denny

Hi Dennis,
Ninety nine and nine tens of the time it is a bad Crankshaft
Position Sensor:

especially when it defaults to the safe mode as yours did.

Re: 93' Grand Cherokee Runs Rich?
Hi Bill,
Oh man,,,, noooooo...
I replaced this thing one other time I was having a problem. 2 hours on my
head and three skinned knuckles. Plus two cop calls for shouted public
obscenities. This was not fun. And, it didn't solve the problem at the time.
Well, at least I'm on vacation and I do have one on hand. I seem to remember
getting the wrong part from the dealer the first time.
Thanks Bill.
And I concur: God Bless America.
