Re: 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo kills while driving
My mechanic has checked for any type of vacucum leaks and there is no
hissing sounds or any funny sounds coming from anywhere on my Jeep. It is
so funny because the engine runs so smooth and quite the only sound I did
have was the busted cat. converter, but that has been changed so now no
sounds at all.

Re: 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo kills while driving
perhaps find a new mechanic, or buy a new car, since every fix that has been
suggested you claim has already been changed. That's a lot of $$$ to throw
at something without proper trouble shooting.
I would suggest your problem is one of 3 things, fuel pump heating up and
tripping the thermal fuse inside, which prevents it from turning your car
into a Molotov cocktail, hence the reason sometimes you have to wait to
restart it. Second it could be your CPS again, I had a mechanic running in
circles when my cps went years ago, no codes were captured and symptoms were
exactly the same. after 3 trips in with it he suggested changing the cps on
spec to see, if it didn't work then he would hook up a code reader with
volatile memory and swap jeeps with me two weeks so he code findout what was
happening. This was suggested after he wanted to change the fuel pump and
other parts, I kept saying it cant be that because it will do this right
away or it does this when it dies. (I forced him to do his trouble
shooting) And third is the engine ground strap, run a booster cable from
the engine block to the battery and see what happens.

Re: 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo kills while driving
Someone beat me to it.... A bad ground strap to the body will cause
your symptoms too. In the Cherokee it is a wire mesh strap from the
head to the firewall and maybe a mesh strap across n engine mount. On
the grand there might be a cable from the battery negative to the fender
too. If the mesh one isn't on the head to the firewall look for the one
crossing the mount.
The body can steal grounds through things like the gas pedal and shifter
and brake pedal.

I think Dave was suggesting a blocked gas tank vent - my first thot too cuz mud
dobbers plug the one on my boat often making the same problem.
