Not that I can tell, no. Just pulled code 44 ECCS Normal Operation. What's the difference between this and code 55 No Malfunction???

It does indeed sound sensor related. Just because of how it suddenly starts up fine. When it died, and sounded like it wanted to come back to life for a few seconds, I heard what sounded like valves clattering and what not, and of all the times this thing has died on me since I've owned it, that is something I have never heard it do. My timing belt is 10,000 miles old... Brand new Magnaflow cat, and muffler.

UPDATE: No longer just doing it in drive at idle. Cruising along, about 20mph, hit the gas a little, cut out and died. Pulled it over, did the same thing as before...cranked and cranked, then started right back up, sputtered a little, and then ran fine. Hmmmmm...

I've ran it to 1/8 of a tank before, NEVER below. I dont trust it enough for that. Yeah, I kept an eye on my alternator voltage this whole time, and it's at a steady 14, and drops to 12 when it's cranking, then right back up to 14. So I think that's fine. The cap and rotor are new as well. It does, for him at least. Little ricer Honda car, lowered and blew out his headlight and tweaked his bumper. He hit my hitch. And it's SNOWING down here before Christmas!

Alright so, it died in me again today at a stop light, only this time it wouldn't start back up. I had it in neutral, and switched to drive to go, and it cut out and died, causing someone to rear end me. No damage to my truck, his didn't fare quite so well, no one was injured. All it did was keep cranking and cranking, and a little sputter here and there. Then, bam, it started right back up and ran perfectly fine the rest of the way home. I didn't smell any unused gas or anything. I'm thinking maybe its not getting the gas...? I let it idle in drive with the ebrake pulled for almost a half an hour, and it didn't sputter once. And it's never done it when the engine is cold, either. Only when fully warmed up...

It has an issue with sputtering a little bit when i press in the brakes hard and release them, that's why I thought this was related to the problem I had before, which is why I pulled the ebrake at a stop so I wasn't using the actual brakes to see if it stopped sputtering, which it didn't. When this happened I looked extremely closely over every single line, and couldn't find a leak anywhere Brakes thread Full tune up was done in July, and I put new NGK Platnums in when my temp sensor went bad since it fowled the crap out of the old ones. That was in early October. I raised my idle myself. The engine makes an obnoxious noise when it idles too low, which it was idling at 400rpm a long while back. Lately when the engine is cold it idles at 1000rpm and doesn't seem to run as good as usual. When it's warmed up, the idle raises. I think that alone is weird, because I thought engines idled higher when cold and lower when warm... Where would I find this...?

Hmmm...It's been raining, A LOT today. Now, usually my truck idles at 700-800 rpm in drive, and 1300 in park when warmed up. So here's the issue. Driving home from school today, I was idling at a stop light, and suddenly it started sputtering and the revs were dropping way down to nothing and then back up, then died. Started right back up in neutral, ran fine with one tiny little sputter. Put it in drive, immediately started sputtering, and the light turned green. Gassed it, and to my surprise, took off just fine with barely any sputtering at all. The next stop light, it didn't do it. Idled fine. Next stop light, did it again, but didn't die. Put it in neutral, the rpms raised, and it ran smoothly. That was the only time it idled fine after the first time this happened. Now it won't idle in drive, and dies almost. I checked my MAF sensor (cleaned 2 months ago) and the wires are snug. All my plug wires are clean, dry, and securely connected. The power wire to my dizzy is secure. I replaced the fuel filter yesterday. Just now I started it up, pulled the ebrake, put it in drive, and hurried to the tale pipe before it died. Exhaust seems fine, not smelling funny or anything. I'm wondering if there's anything underneath my truck that would mess something up if it gets wet? Something electrical. Or is this vacuum? I couldn't find any leaks, and it was so sudden, so... I searched around, but I couldn't find anything really that fit what's going on. Any ideas? EDIT: I thought this was related to my brake vacuum issue, so I pulled the ebrake a few times and it didn't change anything at all

Listen to Your Heart Remix - Jon young

Maybe since Nardelli has so much money, he can loan his own company some :tonguefinger:

Alright, we'll see how things end up

GM and Chrysler have both said that without help, they WILL run out of cash within weeks. If that's not folding, then what would you call it?

Here's my 2 cents. Remember TARP? That big ass $700B bailout from congress to treasury? Lets look at some facts. 1)That came with NO stipulations, and was passed within 2 days 2)$350B has already been spend, being directly put into Citi Bank, AIG, and other peivage morgage companies -AIG has just given it's top 90? workers, making between $92,000-$3,000,000 a bonus between $150,000-$1,000,000 to "stay with he company." That is complete wasting of our taxpaying dollars. -Those bad morgages that were supposed to be bought up so far, have not happened yet. 500,000 jobs have been lost in November alone, making our national unemployement rate about 9%. That's HUGE 3)The economy is still going downhill, which is what the $700B, if spend wisely, is supposed to help solve and stabilize. None of this has happened yet, because of irrational spending and corruption Now look at the Big 3 Bailout, which fell through last night 1)EXTENSIVE stipulations 2)The fail of the American Auto Industry will kill off 1.5-3 million jobs. GM has roughly 4800 small American suppliers of parts in the US alone, with a large part of that number having 50% in GM. Meaning, from the ENTIRE factory output, 50% of that heads to GM. Dealers, mechanics, detail services will all be devestated by this. that's just in America, take it to a greater scale and apply it to world suppliers and renamed GM vehicles. The entire global economy will halt, we'll go into a depression. If person A loses his job, he no longer spends money. Person B who supplies what person A buys, will soon lose his job because person A can no longer afford to buy. The supplier for person B, person C will soon lose his job because of person A and B not being able to buy/sell. There is also all the smaller companies who use American made products, U-Haul, John Deer, International school busses, etc etc etc. They will feel this as well, no support for their vehicles and products they employ. If this causes those companies to fail, there goes even more jobs. 3)Southern senators are what killed this deal. The representatives for the states who Toyota and Nissan occupies. They want these FOREIGN companies to survive, doing extensive damage to the American economy. They are the ones who wanted the UAW (United Auto Workers union) to cut wages for Big 3 employees, to make them in line with the foreign, non-union companies. the UAW refused. 4)$14B is MEASLY compared to $700B 5)Good news, Bush will likely take the money from TARP and lend it to the Big 3 under the same stipulations Congress has already set forth. These senetors seem to have blinders on, only focusing on their state's best interests. Where is the unity that is America, fighting for the COMMON GOOD OF THE PEOPLE? There is a much bigger picture here, people. Yes, the Big 3, particularly GM and Chrysler have slipped drastically, and spent their money greedily and irrationally. This would be their chance to restructure and provide better vehicles to the American people, and other countries. Congress and big corporations are run by greed. Simple greed. It's so disheartening to know that Congress would let something like this fall through, simply becuase of a few small words, and failing to look at the big picture. We're already on a very thin line now with the economy. Why the HELL would they let it worsen by choosing to not help? If Bush cannot, or does not (unlikely) step in and give the Big 3 the money, their collapse will likely send everything into a downward spiral, likely that we cannot recover for a long, long time. GM, Chrysler, and Ford have all made mistakes in the past, with their management and CEOs. Ford has been restructuring for a few years now, selling off Land Rover, Jaguar, and attempting to sell Volvo. GM DOES need to shrink, A LOT. Chevrolet, Hummer, Opel, Saturn, Cadillac, GMC, Buick, Vauxhaal, Pontiac, that's just too many. Chevrolet is/was? supposed to come out with the Volt, a revolutionary vehicle that could drastically change the auto industry. Sadly, it's all a little too late. Take your binders off. Look at the bigger picture, morality of the situation, and the best interest of the American people and the global economy. If you are a non-American who does not give a hoot about America, watch out. this will most likely affect your economy and country as well.

Just wondering what everyone's opinions and thoughts are so far about bailing out the Big 3?

Don't really know what would make the engine run colder, unless your guage is mis-reading. The temp sensor only deals with how much gas to give the engine. As far as I know, there isn't anything electrical that deals with the engine temperature its self. Oh, and it could be possible your choke is sticking a little because of the cold weather...

Coincidental, or we're on on to something

Did your truck start acting up before that or suddenly with the temp change?

This is what mine did when the temp sensor already noted freaked out. It was telling the ECU it was in the antarctic, so whenever throttle was given, the ecu would DUMP gas into it, and flood it, causing it to sputter and what not. At higher RPM's, the engine could keep up, because naturally it was requiring more fuel. Think of it as the engine is idling, but the ECU thinks it's floored, so it's dumping way too much fuel in there. Though this could be a multitude of things really, vacuum, ignition, fuel issues, LACK of fuel, too much fuel, o2 sensor (likely), MAF sensor, etc. Also, what's the temperature outside? That's what threw the towel in on my sensor finally, being going from 68* to 35*

Whoops, I missed the model year with the "e"

Center console from a JGC

I found some that hang on the top of the glove compartment door for $0.69 at costless Cheap plastic ones, but they work, especially if you glue some rubbery foam to the bottom so drinks don't rattle and slide around There's also a write up about installing a center console from an early Grand Cherokee on here somewhere, 2 cup holders. A little modding, and it works.

...OH. Lol sounds lovely
