I have been having this problem for a LONG time, and have gone through every google hit I could on this...
I am on the brink of junking the Jeep with only 166k miles
I have replaced almost every part, from plugs to the computer (including the normal culprits like the CPS). It has just become worse, to the point that it is undriveable, stalling every minute or so, taking a 2-5 minutes to restart, etc.
I often could throw it into neutral and rev it to ~3000 to keep it running (poorly) until it got over its hickup, but that does not work anymore...
So, today I was seeing if it would idle in the driveway, and it stalled so I started looking around and noticed the Fuel Pump Relay was crazy hot (brand new, changed out this week)...
Does that have anything to do with the problem; is it a symptom of the problem?
Other quirks: Reverse disengages while backing down my moderate incline driveway; revving the engine is the only way to get it to engage again. Maybe there is a short in the electrical system causing both problems? I am just out of ideas.
I am looking at buying a new vehicle this weekend if I cant get it running by the end of the week... I would GLADLY drop $2 or 3 K into this jeep but the no one can even tell me the problem.
