The only component I know of, that shuts a Jeep off while idling or driving 40mph down the road, is a bad crank sensor. Usually when it starts going bad, it will sporadically shut off, like yours does. Eventually, it will just die and the Jeep will not start at all. Have it tested and replaced, if necessary.

SOURCE: knocking in engine

If you are pushing oil out everywhere, and it's knocking, first check the pcv and vacuum hose (or ccv) if it's clear, I'ts likely you have a serious engine problem...likely a failed bearing, and possibly a piston problem as well. Check your oil pressure and do a compression test to se what's going on in there.Since #5 is showing a code, pay attention to what you find in that cylinder.

Quite possible you have a bad ignition coil. As coil heats up it breaks down and will not return to normal till it cools down. Check for spark the next time this happens. If spark is weak or not there, it warrants testing or replacement.

SOURCE: I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, 6 cyl,

shifting is regulated by the valve body, governor and shift control module and solenoids...The bubbles bother me...Is it overfull ? If not, the filter or valve body may be loose and allowing air into the system and bleeding off pressure...however, this should make the unit slip.
Before it develops into something serious have a reputable shop check it out!!! (there are no "user friendly" items inside except the throttle cable, filter and checking valve body to make sure it's not loose (only saw that once on a recent rebuild though)

SOURCE: 1994 Jeep Cheerokee Laredo: The remote keyless

If it is a factory alarm you can't unhook it. Replace the switch attached to the lock cylinder inside the door. In the meantime, the switch on the passenger door may still be good. Cycle the key in the passenger door to see if it turns off the alarm.

1994 jeep grand cherokee laredo starting problems

Check to see if the fuel pump is running after it shuts down...could be a relay or the pump itself (overheating internally) Checked the fuel filter yet? Some crank sensors need to be shimmed. If it's too close to the flywheel even though you recently changed it, if it's too close to the wheel it can fail again. May not be the case but worth checking over. Also check the ceramic resistor on the left fender near the master cylinder if you have one. That too can cause problems.

95 jeep grand charokee laredo hard to start,

Check your spark plug, wires, distributor cap and finger. If you spark plugs older than 15000ml, replace them. To check your spark plug wires, use a tester (U can buy at any auto store) you hold direct on the wire and a small sparkling will show you if the wire works or not. You can check the wires also with this: use a single spark plug (don't remove one out your engine!), remove the wire from first SP, connect it with the single SP, hold it to ground, let someone start your engine...you need to see regular sparks.. do this step by step with all 6 wires. If all wires are fine, check the SP's, If you miss on one wire, replace the wire, if you miss on more than one, chekc the distributor cap and finger. If this items are older than 20000ml or 5 years, replace them.

1996 jeep grand cheerokee laredo,wont start.

Of course you are. Try drying it up and restart. If it still doesn't start, take the air filter assembly sitting on thecarburetor . Open the carburetor. Inside it, is a float, that closes the fuel valve when the reservoir is full and open it, when the fuel goes down the level. This control the fuel flow into your engine. You can adjust this such that it is just parallel to the cover holding it. Be careful in removing the carburetor cover. This hold a small valve just above the float. Do not lost it. When everything is checked up. You can assemble the carburetor, and screw it back in place.
Put the air filter assembly back in place. Now, that
you are done, you can restart your car engine. Good
working, you can do it.
