Car Stalling Problems

The PCV valve on the 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V6 engine is on the oil filler tube. It is on the top of the engine.

I have a similar problem with my 1995 blazer. I find that wiggling the relays in the glove compartment starts mine up again. So far I have yet to figure out how to permantently fix this.

There is a pinpoint test procedure to determine where the problem is. Personally, going by your description of the symptoms, I feel the problem is very likely the TFI module. They typically go bad when they get hot and will start working again when they cool off. I would include the diagnostic procedure here, but it is a bit to involved. You can find it in the Mitchells or Motors manuals in the Reference section of the Public Library. Or you can just take it to a trusted mechanic for diagnosis. *I don't know if the above is true or not, but I had the EXACT SAME problem with my 1984 Town Car. The problem was with the FUEL-PUMP RELAY. Try replacing it. If that doesn't work, you can use the unorthodox cure that my shade-tree mechanic used: run a wire from the left tail-light to the electric fuel-pump inside the gas-tank, and when you want the engine to run, turn on the parking-lights. (DON'T FORGET TO TURN OFF THE PARKING LIGHTS WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE ENGINE, or you'll end up with a dead battery). This solution has worked for 1 1/2 years on my car.

overheating

if it is a three speed automatic it is probably the TCC solenoid sticking. On the front of the trans (pointing towards radiatoer) there will be a square plug that you can unplug. if that fixes the problem then it is TCC sol. DO NOT DRIVE ON LONG TRIPS UNPLUGED THIS IS TEST ONLY. WILL CAUSE TRANS OVERHEATING AND DAMAGE IF DRIVEN EXTENDED PERIODS . but if it does correct the problem you know what is wrong.

It will NOT cause transmission damage in early 90s or older cars, only when you get into 96-97 and older cars with overdrive transmissions.

So, just look in the front of your transmission, its a 4 wire plug, unhook it and you should be on your way.

The brakes will be real hard to push.

Probably in need of a complete tune up.

Faulty ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor could be to blame.

It does this because it is broken. If you tell us what kind of car it is, we might be able to give you a few ideas that are more specific. Please specify year, make, model, and engine.

This is important. I wouldn't suggest checking the coke on a vehicle I'd suggest checking intake gasket leaks on. Different cars tend to have different problems.

corroded braided ground cable off starter frayed and check dist. cap.

Check the crankshaft sensor and ignition coil on the Focus. It appears that one of these may be failing as it heats up.

I'm not sure about a 2007 but this is our solution for our 2008's so it is probably good. The problem is with the Crank Sensor and the wiring. You will need 2 small, 2 medium and 1 large (about 3-4 times the length of the others) heat shrink and a 16 ohm resistor. 1. Remove the cloth sheathing from the Crank Sensor Wires and save it to be reused. 2. Expose the Sensor Signal Output Wire which is on the end of the sensor. 3. Cut the wire and splice the ends. 4. Slide on heat shrinks. 5. Solder in resistor 6. Move heat shrink in place and apply heat. 7. Replace sheathing and tape as required. Try to minimize the flexing of the soldered resistor.

I have a 1994 that would stall. The battery cables were corroded. Any number of possibilities: Fuel pump, partially blocked fuel filter, electronic ignition problems, or any electronic component that fails after it's been running. A dead battery.

get an engine diagnostic check, a lot of different problems can contribute to your situation.

check and or clean air idle speed motor

i dont know what you mean by *cough* but i assume you need a tune up, bad.

When your check engine light comes on have it diagnosed and it will tell you which celinder is misfiring and you reolace tha coil.I would say ignition coils. I have a 1999 Licoln TC and must replace all 8 due to misfires as vehicle approches 100K miles. Remember also if you change your coils install new spark plugs!

A thermostat cannot stall a vehicle directly.

If your thermostat fails and will not open properly your vehicle will likely overheat. Overheating can do some very serious damage to your engine and the damage from the overheat can definitely disable the engine. Costly repairs or possibly replacement of the entire could be the result of a severe overheat.

So, while your thermostat cannot directly stall your vehicle it may cause an overheat that could verywell stall your vehicle.

That said, there are many cars today whose computers will deliberately limit the engines performance in the case of an overheat to help warn you of the problem, and give you time to get off the road before serious damage occurs. I am not aware that any manufacturers actually want the computer to shut the car down entirely upon an overheat as that could easily leave you stranded in traffic lanes.

If someone knows different, perhaps they will answer.

Use an OBDII code reader or a scan tool or try disconnecting the battery for a while.
