Car Forum / Jeep / March 200896 Cherokee, 4.0, whats wrong
It was parked for a day and a half and then would not start. When jumped it started but immediately died.The mechanics at the shop I use are going nuts trying to locate problem. They have elect power at every place it should be but it still won't start and keep running. They have checked alternator, injectors, crank sensor, fuel pump (pump was replaced 30 days ago). They are detecting a small drain on battery that they have not been able to locate as of yet. They do say the distributor is worn but don't think that is causing the problem. Any one have any ideas? It has 125K on it. Rob Mills PS, I did notice a bit of roughness in engine just before I parked it but it wasn't real bad. Hi Rob, If you have a sentry key, and not using it, but the other you key you made for the door. that bad key will cause the engine to run for about five seconds before it quits, Or it's fuse is blown. If not, go ahead and replace the CPS: http://jeep.off-road.com/jeep/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=257990 & http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n171/Billy_Ray_2006/Crankshaft%20Position%20S ensor/ That is the problem on ninety nine and nine tens of the no starts.

Ha! I'm a car guy, and even as a child, I never played with toys much. Of course I don't have a jeep. Why on earth would I? I have no desire to play in mud. > Have you ever even RIDDEN in one?

ASD relay (automatic shut down). Generally when the 4.0 refuses to start and has roughness it's the CPS sensor going bad. CPS sensors are hard to test and even look "ok" even if they are not. But for certain if it's dead the engine will not start. Sometimes just removing/cleaning/reconnecting the sensor is good enough. http://revbeergoggles.com/cps/ Signature-- DougW -- 93 ZJ 4.0 http://revbeergoggles.com HESCO Supercharger - 300W IASCA Stereo - Edelbrock IAS Shocks Gibson Exhaust - rear DCpower - custom gauge install - Stillen Rotors Banks Header - and BEER, in the fridge!
