1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee: Intermittent stalling immediately after starting or punching gas

Fri, 24 May 2024 17:14:06 -0700

There is gas, the starter is fine, the battery is good. It doesn't matter what temperature the engine is or how long between starts but if I rev up the engine while cranking it starts okay. Rarely I have to rev at stops or the idle drops too low and stalls. If I punch the gas very quickly it revs and drops quickly and then stalls. Starting has a success rate of about 50% without revving. If it stalls, I must rev the engine to start.

1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee: Power Sunroof non-operational, motor turning but seems off track

Fri, 13 Sep 2013 05:28:42 -0700

The power sunroof in my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee all of the sudden became non-operational. At first, the motor was clicking loudly, but the glass would not slide. Now when I engage the switch, the motor sounds as if it is turning, but nothing moves like it is off track or perhaps cables that use to be connected are not now. Is it possible to repair/replace the motor, etc?

Jeep: How to solve idle and acceleration problem on my cherokee sport 99

Mon, 24 Sep 2018 13:03:54 -0700

Hi, i have a 1999 cherokee spoort straight 6 4.0L standard gear and about a year ago i started having some issues with it. when i turn it on seems to work pretty fine, but after a few minutes the idle goes down, and when i push the gas pedal it wont accelerate, it feels like no air can go into the motor; after trying hard with the gas pedal suddenly accelerates, but after i take my foot of the gas pedal it falls again. when that happens i turn off the engine, wait for about 30 seconds and start it, that gives me a few minutes, and then again the problem. I`ve already done a tune up, check the gas filter and clean a micronic filter that is inside the fuel tank; cleaned the injectors, the distributor cap, changed spark plugs and cables. the last mechanic told me it was the TPS so i replaced it and it worked fine for like a month, and after that, again the problem. The last thing i did was to clean the IAC valve (About two months ago) and after that it worked better than ever!!! (the motor power, performance, etc) but yesterday it started giving me the same problem again. I took off the IAC valve to clean it again, but the problem just got worse, because now there are times when it just doesn´t accelerates enough to move (maybe i messed it up). Now i am thinking about replacing the IAC valve, but i would like to know if there´s anything else that would be causing the problem (the fuel pump seems to be working fine and there are no vacuum leaks). Thank you very much for your help!!!!!

1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee: How do I quiet a squeaky car door?

Thu, 10 Aug 2023 19:29:09 -0700

I drive a 2000 Jeep Cherokee, and recently I noticed my passenger doors are very squeaky when opening an closing.

What is the best way to remove this squeak?

I've heard certain lubricants work better than others, and some shouldn't be used at all because they will hurt the actual hinges and remove the grease in the hinge.

1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee: Won't Idle Correctly After Attempted Repair-What Next

Sat, 13 Apr 2024 19:52:19 -0700

I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L ( XJ ) limited trim. It will not idle correctly. below the regular RPM or above..... i replaced the idle position sensor and had the IAC system reset by a friend who is a mechanic. ( idle sensor was to blame, to keep my question short). Everything seemed to be quite fine having done this yesterday. Even seemed to run better/stronger.

Until this mourning when it would not idle at all.... until i started and held the gas down above idle speed for about 60seconds. Also does not idle at a consistent speed and occasionally idles rough.

I will be doing a tune up over the weekend since it is due, which is fairly easy with no plug wires etc just the ignition pack over the plugs.

I am not sure if this will help with my current problem since the computer should correct within reason for any ignition timing if i had bad plugs? yea?

If anyone has any ideas? let me know. If i had a bad part in the ignition system it would throw a code? and the check engine light has yet to come on and everything checked out ok just yesterday.

I was drinking my 97 Jeep TJ se between 30-40 mph and it stalled very suddenly. I tried to restart it with no luck. Nothing was leaking and the dash lights, headlights, stereo all stay on strong.

When I try to start everything sounds right. I'm getting electric, no rapid clicking noise. The engine is turning but will not fire and turn over.
