I have a 93 cherokee sport with 190,000 miles on it. The other day was really cold and I was driving fine all day, until the car suddenly completey died on me. I was able to start it up the next day and let it run for a little while (it was less cold, too). Then today I got it started and running and two blocks later it died again. Is it the alternator?

when it died was there anything (turning over or just not starting, very dim or no dash lights or head lights)

If you think its a battery or a charging system problem run and don't walk to your local Advanced Auto, Pep Boys, or AutoZone and they will check those systems for you for free. They will install a new battery if you buy it from them...

Please post back with what the problem was

Have you ever replaced the Crankshaft Position Sensor? A bad one could cause the problems you're experiencing. Has it ever cut off before?

Where is the Crankshaft Position Sensor i have the same problem on my 89 Cherokee and that's really the only thing i haven't checked

any luck????

For CPS replacement look at the sticky at the top of this forum....you can also search....it is covered in 'mucho' detail in many instances.

I also need help. I have a 1992 jeep xj. I bought new battery and alsternator. still have prob. It will sgtart when it is cold and then turns off when driven for more than ten minutes. It wont start when hot.
