Cherokee stalling
 

Have the chance to pick up a Cherokee for real cheap. Seller describes
problem as:

"strange problem with engine stalling only when trans is in 1st gear. Engine
runs fine when shifts to second or in reverse. Engine stalls momentarily if
you hit a big bump, acts like a loose connector somewhere. (failed
emmisions)."

Ideas? CPS?

Torque converter lockup, needs new transmission. There may be a way
to disconnect it: http://www.allpar.com/fix/torque-converter.html

Thanks Bill. I missed out on it anyway, probably for the best.
