stalling jeep

[perkinsrbp]

I had mine to the dealer 3 times, but when I asked them to replace the CPS, they refused. AN old time gas station that works on cars!, stopped me in my explanation of my problem and asked if I had the CPS replaced??? NO! They did it and it fixed the problem.

I have the same stalling problem in a 96 Grand Cherokee with the straight 6. I took it to a guy and he charged me $300 to replace the IAC, and it is still stalling. It actually stalled out 13 times the other day over a 2 hour drive. Driving me crazy. I guess I'll replace the CPS and hope that fixes it. Any simpler things I should try first?

When you replace the CPS, do not use BORG WARNER brand CPS and remember to disconnect the Battery before removing/replacing the CPS.

I have the same problem with my 98 JGC. Did you figure out what was causing yours to do it after replacing cps, aic and tps?

It's been FINE since the CPS was replaced. I do not know how it was replaced (disconnect the battery?) and I do not know what brand, but it WORKS now! No Stalling...I had an old time gas (service) station do it. See previous postings...It cost about $145 (parts & labor)...I'm happy... The Jeep dealers are totally worthless!!! Even after I asked them to replace the CPS, they refused and wanted to replace other parts that would cost up to $600 or so...

To perkinsrbp,
Thank you for the assurance regarding the CPS. I've been watching the threads on this post and I saw yours was the same year of JGC as mine so it caught my attention. I am going to order a CPS and change it out myself. I was told by the shop that there was nothing they could do about it to fix it because they couldn't get the computer to tell them what it was. I can understand your frustration with the dealerships, although I am not a 'computer nerd' - I'm a GIRL! (which might be worse, but I'm not afraid to tear apart my car). Kind regards, CC

Take care if you are doing this yourself...read all of the postings related to CPS's...they warn about disconnecting the battery and also having 2 people to change it...I think it is not easy to see and you have to be under the car and have someone direct you from above the engine (with a flashlight...). Oh, and I think it is a 30-45 minute job. GOOD LUCK! And I think it's neat that you are a girl and doing this yourself, my daughter changes flats and spark plugs herself.

Bye!
