Jeep Stalling

I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee with about 158K miles. recently it has
started stalling after i drive for a while. It has never stalled when
the engine is cold. When it stalls, the engine just shuts off.
Sometimes it would start right away. but on occasions i would have to
wait for about 5 mts before i give it a try. It has never stalled while
driving at higway speeds [so far!].
Does this sound like CPS issue?
thanks

That could easily be the bad connection on the CPS issue. The best
cleaner for the computer signal plug is electronic contact cleaner but
WD40 will work in a pinch.

The CPS is on the drivers side bell housing and the plug is either on
the intake manifold or over above the dipstick I hear on some. You can
just follow the wires to get to it anyway.

our 96 grand cherokee would stall at idle intermittently.It was due to the
tourqe converter staying locked.We changed the transmission filter and
solved the problem.We usually wind up having to change the filter every
1 -1.5 years.

Where is the transmission filter? Is it in the transmission?
I looked on my alldata for filters but didnt hit transmission, does it have another name?

thx,

The filter is internal to the automatic tranny. Parts stores sell them.

If the auto tranny is the issue, dropping it to neutral will avoid the
trouble, but it still should start right back up.

Could be CPS or could be your fuel pump is going (not unheard of at
100,000+ miles)

Exactly the same symptom as my '84 CJ7. Turned out to be the
ignition module. Tested bad on the tester at Auto Zone. No problem
since replacing it.

Mine did!

>Does this sound like CPS issue?

Could be lots of things.

while the engine is running spray water on it and look for sparks if u find
some replace the wires if not then there is a good chance the crank sensor
is going bad

I had a similar problem with my 97 TJ, and it was the ignition
switch
