New to the group, I have two Cherokees that I've had for ranch trucks for about 20 years now. my problem: truck was running fine then just stalled out. you turn the key and it fires like it wants to start then dies, if it sits for awhile it'll run for a couple minutes, then die. Hooked up the fuel pressure gage and pressure is fine and steady. It's like maybe the injectors are loosing their signal. feels and sounds more like a gas issue than electrical or maybe both. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

I don't know if this will help, but the exact same thing happened to my Cherokee, and I fixed the problem by putting more gas in. Just make sure to put in around 5 gallons or more, because it still wouldn't start for me after I put two gallons in.

Posting the YEAR is important as they're not all the same.

One's an 88 and the other a 90, i get them confused i think its the 88 that's having the problem. I'm going to get the book out and find the CPS and see if that's the problem , i thought if the cps goes you get nothing at all.

The CPS doesn't always fail 100%. I wouldn't rule it out.

Fuel pressure should be checked.

Same system 88 or 90. Try jumping the fuel pump resistor on the driver side inner fender.

Have you visited my website and completed tips 1 through 5 yet?

I'd say this fixes 95% of most no start/ won't keep running issues...

And other issues down the line that you won't have.....
