I’m having an issue with my 93 Grand Cherokee with 193k miles. The RPMs will fluxuate and even drop to 0 at times and the whole Jeep with shudder and shake and then the RPMs will return back to normal. It could just drop down once, or several times in a row. I’ve even had it completely die a few ti…

Sorry guys. I clicked the post button and it looked like nothing happened. So I hit it again… still looked like nothing happened. Changed the title and hit it again and it tells me it’s been posted :confused: Most forums it takes you to your thread that you just created. Sorry for the spam >_<

Pull the fuel filter again. If there was a lot of crud in the tank, the new filter may be clogged. Is the “Check Engine” light on?

If this problem came from a fuel pressure issue (such as you might get from a clogged fuel filter), it would probably be ok at idle/low speed and get worse with load.

I feel for you. I have the same problem and I have replaced the crank sensor twice, and the engine computer. In the meantime my catalytic converter melted and I blew out the muffler backfiring because fuel was igniting int he wrong place. Still happening!!! I am desperate for a solution.

As far as the wires/plugs go I haven’t replaced them in the roughly four years I’ve had the Jeep. This is just a random problem that comes and goes along with its severity. Sometimes it will do it once, twice, and be done. Other times it’s so bad it’s nearly undrivable. Today I was driving it aroun…

Really? That too can cause your symptoms. And probably is. In my response I assumed you’d looked at the basics first. That’s what happens when I assume. That vehicle has an OBDI system. If you had an OBDII system you’d have a light for sure.

It is more likely to backfire if I give gas too soon when the problem occurs.
