Consumer Description

MY 98 JGC STARTED STALLING RANDOMLY; ON ACCELERATION, DECELERATION, HIGHWAY, STOPLIGHTS, ETC. IT WOULD ALWAYS START BACK UP AND RUN AGAIN, BUT THE STALLING WOULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. NO CODES WOULD REGISTER EITHER. THE DEALER TRIED REPLACING THE IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR AND IGNITION COIL ($300), BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I REPLACED THE IGNITION WIRES, DISTRIBUTOR CAP, SPARK PLUGS, AND THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR BUT STILL THE SAME. . WHEN THIS OCCURS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD DROP OUT MOMENTARILY. ALSO, WHEN THE ASD DROPS OUT, THERE ARE NO COMPUTER CODES REGISTERED. THEY ALSO CLEANED THE CONTACTS ON ALL THE RELAYS UNDER THE HOOD AND COATING WITH DI-ELECTRIC GREASE. THIS DID NOT HELP EITHER. *TR
