Takes about 30 mins before it run right, but not til temp gauge is showing good and warmed up, anything below that, it acts up and dies whats causing this ?

Mine does it til it warms up to normal temp,,,only in cold weather,,, after its good and warmed up it runs just fine,,,only when it cold, it spit spuders and dies

You showed us the problem and showed us the solution. Excellent video!!! I will check my harness tomorrow.

Great. Talk about doing some diligent work. I'm glad you found the problem and shared it with us.

very cool do you still have it?

Awesome whatever happened to this boat? I have a keaton utility 84

Fantastic job at troubleshooting and in presenting the solution!

So is it still running with no issues?

Thanks, my sons Jeep is starting to run rough and stall at times. I’ll check that spot out.

You sir are a genius!!!!!! 06 tj has same problem…… Thank you !!!

Good job man :)

Exalant video vary informative

Super informative great job your lucky you found it

Express Lub took my cable and pushed it behind the valve cover it would rub wires and short out the wires took a month to find what they did to me, I mount the cable on top of the valve cover.

Yes I completely thought it was my ignition switch or a vacuum. I did the trace like you did and found the dang same thing. You are appreciated 🙏🏻

Thanks for this find! That was exact same issue I had. Finally fixed. Luckily, my wires in the harness were not frayed. It was, however, the wrap around was melted or worn out from abrasion. So lifted the harness away from that bolt you shown.

You have to love Chrysler for their excellent workmanship, vision, common sense and amazing attention to detail. 🙄 I'm getting a rough idle and definitely starting my troubleshooting with the electrical first! Thanks for posting this well done video!

Nice job - Hope it's still holding up!

4 months my jeep has been doing the same thing.. it's been sitting.. I just went out started it up pull the harness and that bitch cut right off...

Very nice, sometimes you just have to run it down

Helps me out, thanks!! Same issue on my '98 TJ (2.4l, still has that wiring harness on that head stud...). Was so confused! Thanks for solving!

I wish I could attach a picture here, but your Jeep is missing a piece. There is a plastic holder that attaches to the top of that head stud that you route the harness through and it keeps it above that screw. Though I bought mine used and that could be an after market fix. Mine is an 04. Could also be a factory fix for this issue.

Great video, I was contemplating getting up tomorrow and changing my fuel pump and chasing down a bad sensor. OBDI said it was a Cam Position Sensor and a MAP sensor and also my speedometer quit working. My 2006 Wrangler had died on the road twice before after reaching operating temps within 15 minutes or so. The fuel pump was my first thought. The last time it happened my wife was driving it and was close to home so I went to see what it was and it started up for me. Drove it home where it would not start again. After watching your video I couldn't sit in my recliner thinking about it any longer. I went into the shop where the Jeep started right up so I just started moving the harness around where i found it would die when I moved the harness around where it went over the oil fill tube brace. I pulled the components off the harness and turned it over to find where it had rubbed through and into three wires. I cleaned up the wires and since none were cut all the way I taped them up and recovered them. I braced the harness and got it as far from the engine block as I could. Started right up and has no codes and the speedometer is working again . I have been taking good care of this jeep since I bought it 16 years ago and love going on road trips in it. It was getting to the point I was ready to sell it or maybe upgrade but I feel like I have learned a lesson about Jeep ownership. I'm going to have to keep a better eye on the electrical system. Thanks for the inspiration. You probably saved by several hundred dollars and alot of headache this week.

Aint ut a bitch when its not just a bad part lol

Very clear diagnosis and description of the solution. Wish all repair videos were this good. Thank you for going to the trouble.

Hey there! I have my Jeep Wrangler, TJ 2000. My Jeep is nice and quiet when in idle, BUT once I drive over 35-40 < on the Highway, I put my foot on the gas pedal and it loses power and then stalls. I changed my oxygen sensors, crank position sensor, cam sensor, and it stalled again today. Do you think you can relate to this? And do you think you solution will solve my issue :(

Thanks, my buddy just found his problem. Chafed harness was the culprit.

Happened to mine as well! Thank you for this!

I have 2000 Cherokee that has been parked for about 3 years. I been changing sensors and coils until I couldn't find any thing else to change. Nothing fixed the problem. I would be on the highway at 65 mph, and the engine would die and before I could get off the road it would magically start itself up again, most of the time. If it did not restart itself I would put in neutral and turn the key off then back to start. When the RPMs came up I drop it into Drive and keep going. This happened 2-3 times a day. People told me it was this or that, but none of them were right. I'm now going to check my wiring harness!! P.S. I used to have a '64 and a '63 Impala SS!!

Thanks for your video, saved my life, been trying to figure this out for 3 weeks. Never stalled with me but my daughter every time she drove it to school. Seeing the video kept me from doing something drastic. THANKS

Kudos on your on-point diagnosis! Wire chaffing is a good friend of Mr. Murphy and his all-too-familiar "Murphy's Law".

Hey, you have a natural tallent making videos. You should make more. Thanks for the info. Good job

Wow this is crazy man! I have a 99 Xj sport. Just last week mine did the same thing! I figured it was bad gas. and got screwed putting pricey gas in that thing when it was below a 1/4 tank! Mine needed the downstream O2 sensor changed for a long time. So when i went to autozone, they thought it was a clogged cat, and did the obd2 check. It pulled a P 1694 code for the PCM. I checked my CPS with a multimeter and that tested good. So i didnt have time to test the cat myself, & brought it to mineke. They said no way the cat is clogged, its electricaland didnt charge me! So i cleaned the battery grounds, the one on the firewall, and wiring harness. Took it for a ride a couple hours ago. Still did it, but not as much often. So i went back to autozone, and was gonna buy a TPS and an IAC valve but the lady told me not to and its in the wiring. So that leads me to right here. Its raining now and tomorrow hopefully I’ll solve this headache!! I need a beer! Lol

I have a 2000 XJ with essentially the same issues. My gauges go dead just the same as yours which is what caught my eye in this video. Bought the jeep brand new off the showroom floor with like 13 miles on it have a little under 250k on it and have replaced pretty much everything at one time or another. Gonna check the harness later today. Thanks for the info.

I just got a new wiring harness a few months ago but I'm going to check to see if it's worn already.thanks for this video

Nice 63

Best video on TH-cam! Thank you!

Just went out and checked my 04 I have upgraded with a plastic bridge over the back of the valve cover

Just happened on my 2000! Thank you for posting this!

Thanks a lot 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

my YJ did this last year. I thought it was bad gas. I made sure I went to the same station thinking it was gas. I just had a new fuel pump put in. no one knew what its problem was. I went for replacing a sensor and thats when I noticed the bare wires. I am the guy who can admit, I do not know what I'm doing, but I found it. that is frustrating in itself. I ended up wrapping tape and pulling it away with an electrical tape "spidey web". going to look into that liquid insulation stuff and attack it again. nice work. nice video.

Poor engineering for sure. I bought my first Jeep, 2005 Wrangler TJ, year and half ago. I didn't realize all the problems and issues that people were having from electrical and front ends. You have to be a hard core enthusiast to put up with it all. I think I'll sell mine and swear off Jeeps for the time being.

Did you dis connect the battery first?

Hi there, are you interested in selling your jeep?

Has this fixed your issue still?

Thank you for this video. I had the same problem and you showed me where to look and the same wire was chafed on the same engine stud and was grounding out. My symptoms was shutting out typically once I took my foot off the pedal once in forward gear and once I put Jeep in reverse. Sometimes I would get a stutter and then stall if I gave it gas. Check this point first before changing idle air control or crank position sensor. I also found a lot of soot on my throttle body because of this problem. Thanks again.

I have exact same problem . Thank you 😃

The same problem keep happening with my 2008 Jeep Wrangler I spend around 4,000$ the problem is still there

nice i hope mine is that simple

Thank you
