Try and get code when lite comes on , but I had a similar problem and cylinder coils we're going bad. Take it to a jeep dealer and they'll fix it or try and find out which coil

check your catalytic converter... it maybe full or clog..

double posted, now with more facts. back up one. not a clue, now that noise, was added to post. nada. noise needs HANDS ON testing. no body here can do that, only wild guessing. my guess (wild), is a U-joint is horribly bad. guess 2(wild) are you in 2wd? does car have AWD options. is it stuck on 4wd or 4wd lock. i have no idea what options are on this truck.(drive line) id say get it checked, as it sound real dangerous to me.

did you mean too fast ,as all cars do that. moving or parked.??????????? hot engine or cold , or both. well there are many factors governing that. moving A/t tranny or stick....??? up hill or down hills. loads in the car. trailers. A/T fails to down shift? M/T you didnt down shift. both cars the engine stalled as you shifted? bad ISC, it is used for deceleration called the dash pot effect as you cut the throttle the ECU opens the ISC to stop on the fly neck snapping effects, (software that replaced and old part on a CARB) how low did idle go? in shop we see all this and 10x more, in seconds. on line forever. we blind here.

Gear range depends on terrain / conditions. 4low would be used to move slowly, with large amounts of torque developed and transferred to wheels. It is not capable of road speeds without over-revving the engine. 4high is best all around conditions, and necessary for road travel for any speed above a slow run.

park lock out. (this is a feature !!) cant drive over kids deal . the brake lamps must glow at rear of car. if not park will lock on on all cars made are they? on the newer jeeps is 10x more complex. as one guy found out this week, need a scan tool for new cars. the 95 has a bypass i think (no new cars have) its near shifter. and is covered in the operators guide. the finding of that. lost the guide?

When my engine had a LOUD, persistent tick, I made sure that the engine was warmed up, turned it off, drained the oil, chased it with Lucas engine oil treatment (so that I got more dirt out of it), changed the oil filter with a decent one (as I no longer use Fram Extra Guard filters--but have no problem with their Tough Guard filters), refill the crankcase with fresh oil that meets or exceeds the specification on the oil cap, on the oil dipstick, or in the manual to the quantity that's also specified in the manual. Be safe & have fun!

ever heard of the FSM factory service manual all that is there, in one book, shows what they mean and what to do. transmission errors. 1: check fuses. 2: check levels. 3: SCan it , you did, now look them up. http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#service click emissions chapter, the 7xx codes are all transmission errors 740 is TCC lock up failure or trans slips get a trans guy to diagnose why? reset them see if all 3 come back if yes, they are REAL the chapter under transmission has all the tests read them and ask questions on any there are not clear.

need to link withcomputer and fault read it

4.0L what transmission, mines a 5 speed stick so????? idles good, well that dont take much. will only move, car moves? with what wide open ,the throttle? well just barely throttle is normal, why say that? my guess is car has low power, or can not go fast in all gears. is that it? if yes, that is transmission slip or a weak engine, transmission slip is easy RPM goes way high car dont move weak engine acts like brakes stuck on , low RPM deep right foot. post all symptoms and win, big time.

Turn key in ignition to 1st click ( do not start ) firmly press gas pedal to floor (3) three times.

Turn the key to ON but don't start the engine. Push the gas pedal to the floor and let it go 3 times. Thurn the key to OFF. Hope this is helpful :-) -Scott

You probably have the distributor installed one tooth off. Or if it was doing this before you did all this the timing chain has jumped a tooth. remove the distributor cap, then set the timing mark on top dead center, then have someone watch the rotor and tell you when it moves then check how many degrees it moved. It should not be no more than about 2-3 degrees if more than that you probably need a timing chain and gears. BigD

Your car's computer has a function called limp mode. When the computer senses a problem with the engine, like overheating, it reduces the power in the engine so that you can "limp"home, or to a service agent to fix the problem. 150 degrees F (hopefully not degrees C) is not a sign of overheating, so there might be something else like low oil level?

The best support site I have found for Dodge is here, Allpar Dodge Chrysler Plymouth Jeep and related cars minivans and trucks Look in the tech sections and you may find the answer or you can type in a question. Contrary to what one user posted, I have no affiliation with this website beyond having used it myself. Allpar Dodge Chrysler Plymouth Jeep and related cars minivans and trucks

check catalytic con.could be plug.

I would check the voltage on the throttle portion sensor with the engine off from idle to wide open throttle.If there are any dead spots, replace the sensor. If the tps checks out, you should check fuel pressure. If you have good fuel pressure, you may want to make sure there isn't a lot of slack in your timing chain. I don't believe you mentioned the mileage of your vehicle. Best of luck.
