The following assumes you have a top-post battery rather than screw-in battery terminals on the side of the battery. The battery may be new, but if excess side torque was applied to the battery post when the clamps were installed, the seal around the post may be cracked. Battery acid and fumes leaking through the crack (even if it is microscopic) cause corrosion between the post and connector. Try removing the battery cable clamps and cleaning them and the posts with a battery terminal cleaner brush. If you see corrosion (yellow or yellow-white crust) on the battery post, you have a cracked seal. Wipe everything around the post with a disposable rag, then coat the plastic around the post with petroleum jelly (but not the post. This will reduce the flow of corrosive chemicals onto the connection. Another possibility is that the battery cable clamps were not thoroughly cleaned when the battery was replaced, and now the corrosion from the old battery is causing problems. If you are removing or installing terminal clamps on a post-type battery, you must avoid putting a bending force on the post. That means when you turn the wrench or socket on the clamp bolt, you must hold the battery clamp with your free hand and use it to exert a force in the opposite direction from the wrench to keep the post from "bending." Failing to cancel the sideways torque on the post, as I mentioned above, will crack the seal around the post. Since I began observing this precaution, I have run batteries for a full lifetime without any terminal corrosion problems.

The parts which determine whether or not a vehicle "turns over" are the battery, starter and alternator (if there is one). The fuel pump has nothing at all whatever to do with that. As for the "cutting out", that could be a fuel pump or even a fuel filter problem. Could also be the carb or deterioration in the gas tank. Good luck. . .

This can be a possible issue with the part commonly called the BCM or Body Control Module. The operation of the locks is you guessed it computer controlled. I suggest you see the dealer and have the BCM scanned with a special tool to see what is going on.

Can you or somebody you know disconnect the alarm completely?

A stalling problem doesn't have to turn on the check engine light . Try some basic thing's like cleaning the throttle plate (body) air passages for the IAC - idle air control valve . There are videos on youtube , also check for a vacuum leak ! Cleaning Throttle Bodies Throttle Body Cleaning To Restore Idle Quality

if the hose runs from the turbo housing to the intercooler or the inlet manifold it is a turbo hose It is one piece between turbo and intercooler or inlet manifold it suffers from heat problems so is a special silicon materila ( normally blue) and will regiure special hosw clamps to keep it on the metal fittings

Usually a fast turn signal means that there is a light out. You should probably check all of your lights, including back-up lights, and turn signals. If there is one out then replacing the burnt out bulb should fix the problem.

No kill switch. You may have a fuel pump pressure issue, it may being losing pressure after shut down due to a faulty fuel pump check valve. Do a fuel pressure leakdown test, start the engine with a fuel pressure test gage hooked to the test port on the fuel supply rail to the fuel injectors, looks like a tire valve. Start the engine and run it and check for leaks at the pressure port to the test gage, repair as needed, once you are sure the test gage is leak free shut the engine down, if the fuel pressure bleeds down very quickly then you need to replace the fuel pump.

stopped in drive, engine shook is gross missing. the belt snapped on front of engine, causing PS assist to end. time for a new belt. they last about 50,000 miles, best is to keep eye on belts. or can be a long walk home. or very expensive tow job. the bent runs many important things, do not run the engine like this.

On a ZJ its inside the damn bumper basically below the drivers side headlight

May find one on Google images.

no transmission stated, of the 5 possible that year.find another shop, find ASE rated shopno DTC, no joy here, why post with the key fact missing?vague, sure, P0700, is the common vague (means see DTCs from TCM ) that code means your lame shop has a TOY grade scannerthat can't scan all jeep codes, see all TCM errors.the shop manual lists them all.its free to read.x2 grounds.x2 service it , full flush.x2, scan it right this time,,,BTWsome TCM skip gears in LIMP-IN mode.in failure mode, you need to fully scan theTCM. it could be valve body, or, TCM doing it on purpose because VSS is funky or other inputs to the TCM are wrong.if you dont learn all TCM errors, you will never know ,will you?worst yet, no transmission stated30RH32RH42REAW444RE (For the big block 5.2L)NO ENGINE STATE EITHER AS ENGINE AND TRANS MATCH. HELP US SEE WHAT YOU HAVE,to get help , first learn what you havethen tell that first.

so if the car worked perfect at the dealer ( i bet it did) then he is a crook because, is not god like.? really how can you fix a car that tests ok. you tell me... Ill bow in reverence. find a shop that can drive it for a week and fix it. it has to fail for them to find it. diagnosis is that, using tools to find a live failure. i could fix it but it might take me 1 to or more days work driving and with my data logger attached, to find the culprit.
