humm well if it doesn't have anything to do with the STEREO SYSTEM (which I doubt), then it sounds like (Stalling, hard time to start) it is possibly a bad CPS (CrankShaft Position Sensor).

but on the other hand the guages acting wierd are some signs of the a battery and/or Alt. going bad.


BROKEDOWN J what year is ur jeep.
: whtat do u guys think about the Battery Temp Sensor, do u think it might have anything to do with it. My jeep is a 94 so I don't really know if it would affect it. I know it adjusts the Charging for Cold and Warm weather, and thats where my knowledge ends.....lol

amp d/c'ed and stereo takin out and still runs the same... could it have nothin to do with stereo? dash lights and guages still blink and go up and down. the volts guage included. could a bad coolant sensor cause this? thats the only other thing the computer says anything about

[dksob81]

Coolant tempature Sensor, or are u refering to the Coolant Level Sensor?

Is your check engine light comming on? The could have ran a screw or a drill through a wire like another post said. Usually if you have a problem after work was done it is related. If you have 13.5 volts on the altenator is seens to be good. Look for a bad bare wire.

HELP!!!!

you just get your alternator upgrade that will solve ur problem

only thing about that is its all d/c'ed but still runs the same. car stays runnin after i remove neg cable from battery. the jeep is a 94 and i believe its the coolant temp sensor thats bad. the coolant sensor light is on the display. someone else was tellin me it could be just a short in a wire somewhere. sounds very likely just finding that wire doesnt sound so simple. and no, no check engine light. its really buggin me out

If your getting a bad coolant temp sensor code from the check engine light I would replace it only abot 12 $ If it is the coolant level sensor it should not efect engine performance. If looking for a short check the wirring back from the sensor into the harness.
