SOURCE: 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Keeps stalling, engine

P0505 means the whole Idle Control system, not only the IAM. Check all related sensors (i.e. crankshaft sensor). Check with a voltmeter direct at the connector of the IAM if you get any signal. Remove the IAM from the TB, connect him, let someone switch your ignition key to ON. The IAM need to drive in/out for a short time to find the right position. Hold the IAM near a hard part, that they cant drive out completely! If IAM works fine, check the fuel pressure, check and clean your TB ( if not done yet). If that doesn't work, come back again please

SOURCE: P0456 OBD code just appeared on a 2004 Jeep Grand

That code definition is (evaporative system small leak detected). One of the most common reasons for this code is a faulty gas cap. The evap system is strictly designed to trap fuel vapors in the tank and not allow them to scape into the atmosphere. The vehicle keeps a constant vacume on the tank and when it is unable to hold that pressure it will set the code you have. Try buying a new gas cap-thats a cheap start-clear the code and see what happens. If the light comes back on you will have to bring it to a repair shop where they will tap into the Evap system and force smoke into it. They will then observe the Evap hoses and wherever it leaks smoke will be your problem.

2004 jeep grand cherokee laredo, po162, po123

It is most likely the TPS sensor for the P0123 code(TPS voltage out of range). If P0123 occurs again, repair. The P0162 may be a result of the P0123 failure. So repairing the P0123 may also correct the P0162 fault.


The P0162 appears to be Jeep enginr specific. The following link may be of help.

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee temp gauge high when heat is on

If your "check engine" light is turn on, I suggest scanned the PCM to know exactly what fault code is stored there. Additionally, could be some problem with the "temp sending unit".

Keep us updated.

My 2003 jeep grand cherokee laredo keeps killing on me. The check engine light comes on and the car kind of coughs. It will then idol down and kill. After a few starts the light goes off and the car runs...

This could be a number of things,have the codes read to find out what the codes say,this will help in the diagnoses,auto zone can do this for free.

Engine light is on, all fluids, fan belts look good.

you will have to see what the code is for the engine light to turn on. cause it could be anything from a gas cap not on all the way

What causes the oil pressure gauge to fluctuate on my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo?

If the oil pressure is good and there is no engine noises then the oil pressure sending unit is the problem.Just replace it and you should be good.Hope this helps.Good luck.

Service needed

most of the time it means you should get your oil changed,and if you look in your owners manual it will tell you by mileage other items that should be taken care of when the light comes on.

Oil light flashing, last oil change 7 wks ago

I belive they didn't reset the oil light timer. I belive the sequence is 1. key on (not acc with engine off)
2. step on the brake pedal 5 times within 10 seconds. 3. key off. 4. start car. 5. check if the light went out. you may have to try it a few times to get it.
