Consumer Description

MY 97 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. USUALLY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 15 AND 60 MILES PER HOUR. NO WARNING, NO LIGHTS AND NO SHUDDERS;IT JUST QUITS. MOST TIMES IT WILL RESTART ON ITS OWN BUT LATELY IT HAS TAKEN LONGER TO RESTART. THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE, COIL, SPARK PLUGS, SPARK PLUG WIRES, DISTRIBUTOR CAP, ROTOR AND CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAVE ALL BEEN CHANGED OR CHECKED. I AM CURRENTLY RUNNING THE CAR WITH A LARGE HOSE CLAMP AROUND THE COMPUTER AND IT'S PLUGS. SO FAR MY "FIX" IS WORKING. MY STALLS HAVE OCCURRED ON STRAIGHT ROADS, IN A CURVE I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONTROL DUE TO NO POWER STEERING/BRAKES WHEN THE CAR IS DEAD. *TR
