Jeep Cherokee 2001 sport - died without warning
I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport that I've driven for the last 4 years
without many problems thank goodness. Now a week ago I went to start it up,
and it would not turn over. A friend gave it a jump, and it worked perfectly, it
seemed almost better than it did beforehand. I've had no issues since, until
yesterday, literally 7 days later to the day. I drove to the store, aside from a
very slight hint of a gas smell, it went fine. When I proceeded to leave the
store, the car attempted to start but would not turn over. I tried a few times,
and gave it a little gas, (I didn't want to flood it out), it finally started, though
very rough. The moment I tried to drive, it shut off. I restarted and at that
point as long as I was in motion it drove. Long and short, after several
starts/stops, I made it home. I turned it off and turned it back on and sat
there; after about 5 minutes it shut off. This morning the car is totally dead, no
lights, radio, nothing. What could possibly be going on?
