When it stalls is just as important as that it stalls. Random stalling while driving and re-starting after a wait can generally be traced to either a bad fuel pump or a failing crank position sensor. Neither component is cheap so I'd do some testing before replacement. All Jeeps have an idle control valve and throttle position sensor. Control valves can get gummed up. Control valves can usually be cleaned out by spraying carb cleaner into the passage in the throttle body bore. In severe cases, the control needs to be removed. If you remove it, DO NOT turn the part that goes inside the TB...just spray it off and clean inside the TB. Make sure you don't lose the small "o" ring. Test procedures are outlined in both Chilton and Haynes manuals. BEFORE doing any testing, verify that all your fuses are good in the power distribution center and inside the drivers compartment. You can also get a free scan done at most larger parts stores. OK, I've given you the most common reasons for stalling...There are others but testing all systems is the only way to determine that.

Check PCV valve and be sure it is not stuck open.  Check for vacuum leak at intake manifold.

The check gauges light is normal because at 400 rpm it isn't running fast enough to build sufficient oil pressure. I am guessing maybe a vaccum leak???

SOURCE: 1998 Jeep grand Cheroke hard cranking, sputtering, rough idling

In READING what you wrote, it appears that your car is difficult to start and pretty much is rough while running....It also appears that your are randomly replacing parts...How did you verify that the parts your have replaced had failed? I suggest you get a basic manual like chiltons or haynes as well as a decent digital volt/ohmeter, then do some testing. Pay close attention to map sensor test and manifold air temp. Having a good fuel pump does not insure that your injectors are clean enough to deliver a good spray pattern This will not show up on any test...you need to actually look at them. There are other items to look at but I think you will likely find your problem in what i mentioned. (you already checked for vacuum leaks, right?)
Good luck!

make sure your idle air control motor is working, if you give and hold gas pedal a little will it stay running in drive.

Have a 2006 jeep liberty that idles up and down and can die. However with the air in cab completely off it idles and runs fine. The air being on is the trigger. Any thoughts to how I can fix this?

Try cleaning the throttle body and throttle plate. Next is the idle air control passage, pintle and seat. If all that fails, look for vacuum leaks which can be crucial at idle where fuel is light and any leak will cause a lean mixture and stalling, especially with AC on and the vehicle in drive usually.

The idle air control valve (IAC) is designed to increase the idle speed when the AC compressor kicks in to prevent the engine from slowing to stall RPM. It also keeps the engine from run-on or dieseling when the car is shut off.

2001 jeep grand cherokee stalls as i coast to a stop,jest had a tuneup

I would check the fuel pressure and take a look at the throttle position sensor and the idle air control valve.
Most of the time stalling on take-off is a lack of fuel, and stalling at idle is a lack of air going thru the control valve or the throttle body.

My 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport 6 cyl. acts like it wants to stall. I recently had a thermostat sensor replaced and that seemed to fix the problem. However two months later, the problem has returned. A

I'm assuming you mean a coolant temp sensor. The sensor tells the computer what the coolant temp is.
Normally when a sensor fails the check engine light comes on to warn the driver. Normally but not always.
One thing that could affect both problems you describe is the idle air control valve. If the valve fails or sticks, the engine can stall or have a high idle speed. The computer controls idle speed by how much air is allowed into the throttle body.
The throttle body could also be very dirty.

97 voyager 3.0L stalls at stops and turning shows running rich

You may have two different problems.
The rich mixture could be several things including a faulty O2 sensor or leaking injector. If a sensor fails it should set a code in the computer.
The stalling could be a dirty throttle body or a problem with the idle speed control valve.

The Jeep Liberty Keeps stalling at idle or anytime you take pressure off the gas pedal for a couple of seconds

check for vacuum leaks on every hose connected to the engine intake manifold. If all hoses tight at both ends, remove idle air control (IAC) valve as well as hose from throttle body. clean valve, idle air passages, and throttle body with carb cleaner. Hope this clears up the problem. Let me know if you have any questions.

Location of tps and map sensor on a 02 jeep grand cherokee 4.7l

Both are attached to the throttle body. Tps is on the other end of the throttle plate shaft opposite the linkage, MAP is on the side...has small vacuum hose underneath and is flat, about 3" long. The other item on the TB is the idle air motor, next to tps.

1999 Jeep grand cherokee limited - irregular idle

I don 't know if I can solve it, but I had a very similar problem on a 2002 Grd Cherokee Laredo. It ended up being the Throttle Positioning Sensor (TPS). Unfortunately the part alone is about $125 and and total installed cost was about $250. It would idle high at first, then gradually work it self down to a normal idle. Once it was warmed up it it would have an up and down RPM during idling, and several times it stalled out at intersections. There was also a lot of transmission clunking going on when you put it in reverse or drive.
Runs like a dream now. Clunking is gone and idle speed is just right.

Jeep stalls


I had the same problem... frustrating.

I picked up a repair manual at the parts store. I took off the throttle body and cleaned it with throttle body cleaner spray. I changed the Idle Air Control Valve (idle speed motor) which was very clogged. While I had the throttle body off I also changed the Map Sensor and Throttle Position Sensor. The manual will walk you through the steps. I had never done anything like this before. If I can do you so can you.
My Jeep has never run better. Good Luck
