SOURCE: 1999 jeep cherokee 4.0L

get a circuit tester start it and check the battery to see what it is doing you should read 12.79 to 13.79 volts if it goes down to 9 or 10 volts and dies alternator!!! if it doesn't do the above I would look in to the coil pack!!

SOURCE: runs fine for approx 15 mins,then stalls out and wont start again

sounds like coil problem, coils will start cold then get hot and stop. when coil cools will crank up and run till it gets hot, try to replace the ignition coil,dont think it would be a crank sensor, try a coil,thanks robert b.

SOURCE: Fuel pump does not engage until check engine lite comes on

It may be worthwhile to check the power lead from the ignition switch to the pcm. (may be a dark purple wire) If it has partial connection, it may take several turns of the key to "burn through" and make a decent electrical connection. This would not show up as a code otherwise it would set a code every time you started the vehicle. Same applies to external pcm ground leads. A poor connection often causes some heating at the connection point due to extra resistance there. After you turn it off, it can cool enough to again break the connection. Make sure that you check voltage at the wire behind the pin connector and again at the pin itself as many times the problem is where the pin joins the wire.
Could be wrong on this butr being here without the benefiot of "hands on" testing, it's my best guess.

Truck will start but engine dies and service engine soon light comes on/truck was idleing fine for 10 minutes then began to hesitate then shut off when first happened

When the engine dies the Check eng light is supposed to come on. You need to do a fault code test on the OBD2 engine control module.

92 honda accord. started then died all check engine light came on. Restarted car engine light went out. what could be wrong

if it is running ok now and no check eng light on.... you are fine. It most likely a minor glitch like water in the gas that caused a stall and set off check light. not to worry...if no check light...you are good to go.....

Stalling when turn back on

all stalls end in CEL check engine light on. that is normal
but CEL glow. when engine running , means you had a failure, and it stored DTC error codes, so scan it.
lots of causes. huge list.
get a tune up , tops list.

SCAN it to be sure all sensors work. running.
all fuses in car good.
by stalls , i assume the engine stalls and engine RPM is 0 RPM.
the stall cause the whole dash to light up, all the warning lamps come
on (self test) oil , charge , CEL. come on.
what is important is the stall and the cause.

i will tell you the 3 ways.
lost electrical power to engine EFI system (seems not)
bad engine, (lost compression hot)?
bad spark , spark died.?
bad fueling, lost all fueling (starves and stalls or floods and misfires horribly and stalls (black spark plug tips are big time clue)

if non eof the rings a bell.?
get the car serviced.

this car is newer nicer car, you (we) can scan and drive and log data.
allowing faster easy diagnosis.

Engine coolant temp interm

the engine coolant tempurature sensor may be failing, the reason why truck stalls when light comes on is that the pcm thinks there is still a problem, then shuts down. after replacing sensor erase problem code with a obd2 scanner. if you do not have access to 1 you can go to any auto parts store and they will turn light off for free.
