Please help my 1999 jeep grand cherokee has been dying out. As soon as I start to slow down or I'm at a red light it wants to die out. When I give it gas its fine but once again when I begin to slow down or stop it begins to sputter out and die.

Sounds like a fuel problem. when was fuel filter changed last! if filter is ok, remove and clean the idle air control it may be sticking. this is what controls idleing, on todays cars. ( IAC ). good-day ! there is another thing you can do. clean out around throttle plate of throttle body and make sure aircleaner is ok. this should help!!

The circuit load is much higher with the HID lights, you need to rewire the headlights to a large gauge wire.

With a code reader connected to the DTC connection, are there any trouble codes stored? Is there an engine light lit? You will need a code reader to at least start a diagnosis and also a fuel pressure gauge.

My power window in my 1999 grand cherokee is slow and then at the end almost stops.

hello. each power window has it's own little motor and your motor is dying a slow death. It will stop all together soon, most likely in a downpour. To prevent that you will have to replace the motor. I recommend that you purchase the motor and track assembly as one unit. This will make the entire operation like new and you will be very happy.

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Died while driving home

check the fuel pump fuse/relay, could be just bad enough to cause an intermittent start/no start. and check fuel pressure,spark and the crank position sensor.

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee stalls when brakes are applied

My 2000 Grand Cherokee had the same problem, without all the sputtering, it would just die approaching a stop. We could only keep it running by slightly pushing down on the gas petal when coming to a stop. I replaced the Throttle Position Sensor, but that didn't change anything. A new mechanic I found replaced the Idle Air Control Valve, and we've had no problems in a week.
