Does it make a difference what the fuel level is? Can you tell me any more about the problem?

 

Thanks,

 

JB

What test equipment do you have? Need to determine if you are loosing spark or fuel? Does it start right back?

 

Thanks,

It does start right back up - as to the testing equipment I'm not too sure - what tools should I be looking for ? What do you recommend I do to check out the spark and fuel "suspects" ???

Could be either one. If it quits like you turn off the key then check spark first. If it quits like it sputters before it quits then check fuel. A timing light would work to check spark and a fuel gage to check fuel pressure.

Ok so sorry I had to work overtime the past few days and just got a chance to get back to this jeep. The problem is so intermittent we're having a hard time duplicating it. We did find a loose vacuum hose and also discovered something else - maybe it's related ... the oil pressure is at 800 even though the reservoir is low. Oil is getting all over the engine area - by the way I am going to remit payment after this I'm really sorry for the delay
