Re: Tranny problem on 1995 Grand Cherokee
My 97 Grand Cherokee did this once and it was the throttle position
sensor that was bad, I almost had the tranny rebuilt but I ran into a
wise mechanic. We changed the sensor out in about 5 minutes and voila
problem solved. ( this is in reference the tranny problem)
With mine it never showed up in diagnostics but we attributed it to
being an intermitant fault.
Some info on this:

Your year had a recall on that part

You never know it might be a simple fix like mine was...cross your
fingers.

Thanks for the suggestions. Have a service appointment next week.

The error codes can be displayed by using the on-off-on key sequence.
The codes for the engine are the check engine light and the
transmission codes are displayed on the Overdrive LED. Check prior
