94 Grand Cherokee V-8 Turns over then stalls
Hi all,
I'm not a mechanic or mechanically inclined, so please keep this dumbed down! I have a '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee, V8. It's green and automatic. Out of the blue, it stopped running. It turns over fine, falters, and when I put it into gear, it dies. I also noticed some liquid coming out of the tailpipe, and more exhaust than usual. Any ideas? Could this be a simple fix? How much should it be to repair? Can I do it myself? Thanks!! feel free to email me directly with suggestions. |

Hi Steve,
I wouldn't worry about water or white vapor, coming from the exhaust of a cold engine. You could be describing anything from a bad fuel pump which you have enough time on for it to fail. Or the Crankcase Position Sensor, which is very common on six cylinders and was a problem the year before you, 318" V8: http://www.alldata.com/TSB/04/930419DA.html Try to pull the codes: http://www.allpar.com/fix/80s-codes.html Doug, here has a diagnostics page that may help: http://members.cox.net/wilsond/Fixes/diagnostics.html God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ Steve B wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm not a mechanic or mechanically inclined, so please keep this > dumbed down! > > I have a '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee, V8.

Took it to a mechanic. Turns out the fuel injection system needed to
be cleaned. $39 for parts, $68 for labor. Better than the 1 grand I was thinking it would be!! Thanks!
