I just picked up this 98 classic 4.0 auto on the cheap. Needed brakes front to back.and put plugs and wires on it, but didn't do cap and rotor. Drove it for about 2 weeks, no problems.
Passenger side door speaker wasn't working so I went to put a new speaker in it. But it wasn't the speaker, the wire goinh from the connector in the kick board to the speaker was bad. Well I didn't have the supplies to fix it right away and I needed to go to work so I just unhooked the connector to keep anything from shorting out. Went to work (30 miles) and it missed twice. Fixed the speaker, replaced driver door speaker and put a different head unit in it.
Yesterday I went to my grandmas for thanksgiving, it started to miss on the way there but never stalled. But threw check engine light. Left my gmas to head to work was a little hard to start at first. Made it about 5 miles started missing really bad and finally just cut out and left me on the side of the road. it would restart but it would sit and idle and miss really bad and if you tried hitting the gas pedal it would stall out. my sister came and picked me up and took me to work and my dad went and picked it up, started right up and pulled on to the trailer and unloaded it no problem. I did a lot of reading while I was at work and determine that it was the CPS especially after reading that was a faulty CPS will work once cooled down.
I went to the dealership this morning and picked up a new OEM CPS. and when I went to pull the Jeep into the shed it wouldn't even idle without missing so I thought for sure it was the CPS. I finally got the new one in and it started up and ran just fine with no problems I let it sit in idle for probably 15-20 minutes it got up to running temperature. so I thought it was fixed. but I was wrong as soon as I pulled out of the driveway it made it about a quarter mile it started missing and finally stalled out within a matter of seconds. and now I'm back at square one and not sure where to turn. any help would be greatly appreciated.
also I do not have an obd2 code reader nor will it run long enough to make it to the auto parts store.
