    About a week or 2 ago I was at a stop light, went to accelerate and my Jeep stalled. Didn’t think much of it, a week goes by and it stalled again in a parking lot. I did a lot of research and can’t seem to find a direct solution. It has never stalled on the highway, only going under 5mph. I had the Jeep running and I wiggled wires to computers, grounds, terminals, vacuum hoses etc and I can’t recreate the stall. Any ideas on where I should start? The Jeep always fired up right after the stall. It’s a 96 grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0 automatic with 187k

    Have you checked for any engine codes with a scanner?
    Lots of potential problems that can cause random stalls.
    Remove battery cable ends and make sure they're corrosion free. It'll stall if battery power is momentarily interrupted.
    Faulty crank position sensor can also cause random stalls.
    Let us know if any new symptoms develop or better yet, you find a solution.

    Thank you for the response, no engine codes. I cleaned and reseated the terminals and cleaned the throttle body and intake idle valve last night. No stalling so far
