SOURCE: 1984 jeep cherokee stalling

That is an easy fix. It is your choke. The choke is not getting power. I just picked up an 84 with the 4cyl, had the same problem. Did some trouble shooting and figured it out rather quickly. The person that had it before me actually put a new choke on trying to fix the problem, but didn't check to see if it was getting power. I re-wired the choke strait to the fuse box on an accessory fuse. Has been working great every since.
It is at least worth checking out.

I have a 1996 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo. It started stalling at idle and now it will not start.

sounds like a fuel supply problem-change the fuel filter and run some injector cleaner through it-it also could be a bad fuel pump-Denny

97 Grand Cherokee larado dies when you slow down or are stopped. Some bucking/stalling when driving it. We have replaced trottle sensor and igination coil; change air filter; but we did just install a new...

The ac compressor does put an additional load on the engine.
Any minor problem with performance can be amplified with the ac on.
I would check fuel pressure and look at the idle air control valve.
Also check the computer for trouble codes.
Both 6 and 8 cyl engines use a cap rotor and wires arrangement, so it wouldn't hurt to make sure those components as well as the spark plugs are in good working order.
The bucking on the road and stalling at stops could be two different issues.

Hi
Pop into to your local garage and have a diagnostic test carried out.
Listen to the advise given. It may save you lots of money, especially if you start the "guessing" game.
It does sound like a part may be blocked or failed though, but the sytem needs to be tested thoroughly first.
Good luck

Jeep won't start

Check voltage at coil. Check coil output (spark should be healthy even at 1/4" away from ground). If OK, then change module The only testing on module is with a special tool. Therefore if contacts are clean, that's all you can do with it!

Security alarm

If you cant start it because of the alarm disconnect the battery, wait ten secs, reconnect then turn the key in the driver's door twice holding for 2 seconds on the second turn, this should reset the alarm.
