this is my first post on any jeep forum, so please let me know nicely if I posted in the wrong place or anything. I have a 97 cherokee country with 144,000 miles. Bought it stock, put a lot on it. Since the day I bought it, when I start it up, after about 10 seconds of driving, it will make a popping noise under hood, Its very predictable, has always done it. only does it for about 5 seconds. Dont think it has to do with my problem. New alternator, battery, starter, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, o2 sensor, air filter, lots of little stuff. put in 4:88 gears do to 35s about a month ago. Then put in dodge neon injectors. Put about 400 miles with those injectors. had about a quarter tank, Got off the highway, and as I was coming to about 10 mph, it started idling at about 200 rpms, then died. Took it home with two feet on pedals, Changed out the Idle control valve, Cleaned the body, Changed map sensor, Throttle position sensor, o2 sensor, cleaned dist. cap, checked for spark, Voltage is good, Never had a ground problem, so didnt bother, new CPS, (which actually caused a new problem- missing even worse at giving steady gas driving down the road). Havent checked pressure on fuel rail due to not having the tool. I have yet to figure out the exact characters of it. Ill start it up cold, it runs fine. I get in it, drive about 100 ft, come to a stop, then it dies. Takes about 2 minutes of sitting to start back up. Then runs like 1920s washer machine unless I can get it over 2000rpms. Jeep hasnt thrown any codes except downstream 02, but thats because I have no cat, so no sensor. Dont know what else it can be. It is my daily driver, please help.
