Here she is ~~ a 2000 4.0 Cherokee. 194,000 easy miles, great tires, trailer hitch only used occasionally for light transport. The engine runs smoothly yet will not accelerate. I'd like to sell her to the highest bidder who can use her for parts and/or fixing. North New Jersey Anyone interested...

Just saying ! I have taken everyone's advice and it was the 'different part of the World' that re-tuned my response especially since Senior mechanics would know what a transmission crank position sensor is ! I will take a look at the flywheel bolts Nitpky = Thank you very much for a suggestion.

Yo, different part of the world ? That very sensor determines the lead firing order of the engine by 'seeing ' a mark on the flywheel and without it nothing works ( it is the 'electronic' rotor and points of the past ) Now, please get back to my problem ! I have a 2000 Jeep that starts but...

Battery has been very strong ! Cranking an engine takes alot yet when it does start I let it idle for some time before shutting her down. While it will idle smoothly, it shuts down the minute I put any strain on the vehicle ( like trying to move it forwards or backwards. I really wish to thank...
