96 Cherokee keeps dying while driving help
#31
I was having some similar issues with my 94, the power part was the battery lead to the starter. it had gotten corroded so I spliced a new terminal connector and re installed works fine now. and the stalling part if it hasn't been solved yet, I read some post then skipped, mine turned out to be the plug going to the coil was bad, again spliced and reconnected and haven't had problems with the stalling anymore. <also make sure the coil wire going to the distributor isn't making contact with the heat shield, had an issue with that at one time. hope this can help someone
