Hey guys!
First, some info about the Jeep,
Year: 2000
Model: Sport
Miles: 93k
Engine: 4.0L
No diagnostic codes or CEL I'm pretty sure Chris
I drove up to Healdsburg to go biking today (around 70 miles), it was very hot today. On the way home I took the scenic route on highway 1 probably over 100 miles, lots of corners and a fair amount of traffic. I always sort of keep an eye on the temp gauge and while a tiny bit higher than usual I didn't see anything significant.
Just when I get over the golden gate bridge, as I'm in traffic everything shuts down, at first I noticed my power steering gone, and then no acceleration and the brake was stiff (didn't indent much I thought I'd need to use the hand brake to stop). I tried to put it in park in traffic and restart but at first no luck (it cranked a bit but did not fire), I limped onto the shoulder (luckily I was on a hill) and restarted here and it fired back up right away. The radio was still working through everything I am pretty sure.
Okay so paying more attention now I take it slower, probably half a mile down the road it happens again, I noticed my oil pressure, rpm and temp gauge go to default (probably all gauges just not 100%), power steering, accelerator and brake stiff. Restarted again and this time I was able to get home ~3 miles away.
Both times I was probably going less than 15 but not at a total stop.
I turned off the AC and did notice as the Jeeps RPM goes down when decelerating, to just under 750 rpm it was idling at, it almost stuttered and would go up a bit before going down (you could sort of hear it if paying attention). I'm not sure if thats significant or new.
Any ideas on what to look for?
