Sounds like the idle air control valve...buy a repair manuel and it will walk you through the steps to change it...it's not hard.

SOURCE: Jeep Cherokee Sport 1993 stalls after start up fuel pump issues

good morning to you and welcome to fixya.com. hope we can get you fixed here. just a couple of questions first? have you changed the fuel pump yet? if so where did you buy the pump from? your pump is actually building up to much resistence and is unable to overcome it in turn no power is getting to pump as needed. i have a grand cherokee with 230k so i love hearing that you have that many miles. lets keep you rolling. let me know and ill help you out.

SOURCE: 2004 Grand Cherokee: oil pressure fluctuates

if you know for certain that the sending unit is correct and the guage is accurate, then yiu may have big problems.....while the engine is running open the oil filler hole.. is everything wet with oil? or does it look dry or just a little lubed? you can allways install an aftermarket oil pressure guage(crappy tire) if you get the same results with that then you may have a week oil pump....worst case scenerio... need an engine rebuild as the moter may have wear issues.does the pressure slowly drop as the motor warms up? at idle ? does it jump up when you step on the gas?

I have a 1994 jeep cherokee sport with only 89,000 mile . the top of the motor has a loud kocking . what could it be . a rocker loose or broke

Yeah either one...but that doesn't cause the low oil pressure light to come on. When you have oil pressure light comes on, that means that your oil pump is failing and/or your main bearing seals are failing. Costly repair.

2002 grand cherokee engine tapping loudly

My first guess would be a failing valve lifter. They can become weak with age and not able to hold oil pressure.
Especially in an engine with that many miles on the clock.
If the noise is constant you may be able to find out which cylinder by running a compression test. maybe.

2000 jeep cherokee sport has some transmission slippage, does not come out of gear.

Once the ****** slips and assuming the fluid is full it will need to removed from the truck and rebuilt. Sorry.

1995 jeep cherokee sport 4.0L. Oil gauge keeps sending false message ie. jumps from almost center past the highest point on the gauge. How do I fix this problem? where is the gauge sender located?

OIL PRESSURE SWITCH-I'm not sure if this is the gauge sender, though. 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4WD 4.0L MFI 6cyl The Oil Pressure Switch is located: Under hood, passenger side, lower engine area, above oil pan, mounted in engine block.
