The hotter it is outside the more it stalls and longer it takes to start back up. Please can someone shed some light on this situation?
Have you gotten the codes read at Autozone, Advance, etc?
SOURCE: 2000 jeep cherokee starts then stalls in approx 3 sec 4.0 has new crank sensor
I am going to assume that it will not run even if you push on the accelerator pedal?
Can you install or attach an old timing light to the spark plug wires, turn it one and try to start it. The light should flash with the engine running, but if it shuts off at time of engine die, and the engine is still spinning, you are losing spark, My suggestion is the cranks shaft sensor on bell housing.
Second, install a pressure gage on the test port on the fuel rail and watch it as you start the engine, fuel pressure should not drop as the engine dies, if it does, the pump is not working correctly. There are two modes of power to that pump, one to start and timed, for only a few seconds to prime the system, and one to run continuously. Find the wires going to the pump at the tank. Connect test light to those wires and watch what happens during crank and at stall, You should not have the pump shut off and the engine dies.
If you have spark, and fuel pump working, when did you last change the filter,,but I put that LAST.
It has to be one or the other of these.
Good Luck
SOURCE: location of crankshaft position sensor Jeep grand cherokee 1997
left rear of engine block,on transmission bell housing.best way from top under brake booster use a wrench,
SOURCE: crankshaft sensor located 98 jeep grnd cher 4wd 6cy
it is located at the back of the engine on top of the transmission bell housing,the plug runs over to the passenger side of the engine bay and it comes out from behind the engine,you can actually get your hand on the sensor itself from under the hood on the drivers side,and i believe its a 13mm bolt holding it in,the new sensor will have a sticker on the end of it...leave it there,it is used for correct spacing between the sensor and the flywheel,hope this helps
Testimonial: "Everything was just like you said but as a not atleast for my jeep it is an 11mm not 13mm. Works great so far (keep fingers crossed) "

1st I need to know what engine you have, 4.0L or 5.2L V8.
SOURCE: Where is the camshaft sensor located on my 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee
If you still have a cap rotor and ignition wires, it's inside the distributor. If not, it is the part where the distributor used to be (center rear of the engine behind the intake manifold)
