Coolant sensor

Thanks

I have a 1997 jeep grand cherokee laredo. And my message said coolant sensor bad. I replaced and still says bad. I have cleaned the connection and still no change. What should I do

I am having the same problem with my 97 grand cherokee, we have had a mechanic change the coolant sensor twice now and it is fine for a short time then the message board starts up again and it shows a diagram of the car and a red square flashes where the hood is in the picture and beeps and keeps saying coolant sensor bad, I tried to do the thing you were talking about with the set button when the warning board does it's little thing but it keeps taking me to the clock set and I can't get it to do anything else, please help!

How do you change the coolant sensor? The part is only $12.00 and I don't want to take to my mechanic. Thanks.

Are you driving Grand Cherokee? CTS sensor should be on or near the thermostat housing. The guage sensor is typically on the back of the block, or on the intake manifold.

I bought this vehicle about 2 months ago and paid $4000 for it. Now the vehicles computer says coolant sensor bad. The mechanic I bought it from said that it was a minor problem and that he had ordered the sensor from jeep. On friday when I went in to have the rear bulb changed the car didn't start when I went to pick it up, so they said it was the starter and changed the terminal on the battery and a brand new starter, it started but only after about the second try of not cranking over. Is this the coolant sensor or is there another problem of why its not starting?

I Have A 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee v8 5.2l engine. My question is I replaced the temp switch on the engine block. I still get coolant sensor bad coming up on my information display. My engine heats up to about half way mark on my gauge and stays there. I was told that there is another temperature switch on or by the radiator. Can you tell me exactly where it is.

I recently swapped my 1990 engine with a 1993 engine and had to move the location of the coolant temp sensor and I am wondering if it would read hotter in the new location I am having trouble with it overheating and it has a new thermostat in it

Coolent overheating but not leaking from car. Car will only run for a little while before coolent starts bubbleing. Have changed thermostst still have same problem. 1990 jeep cherokee

I have a 1993 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 litre 2WD. Sorry about the long post, but I wanted to be detailed in the problem and what I have already done. I am having the following trouble:

Engine starts fine. It runs fine for a while. While driving on the highway at about 65 mph for around 10 minutes, the jeep will sometimes buck. It doesn't feel like its losing any power, but it may be. It will only do a little buck for about a second, then it will seem fine. It will buck again a few times during the next 10 minutes or so.

When I decelerate to get off the highway it loses power. If I press the gas, sometimes it will buck and go, sometimes it will stall. Today it did it again, but did not stall right away. I stopped to pay the toll and when I took my foot off the brake to go forward, it stalled.

When I try to start it, it turns over, but won't start. I checked the fuel rail and pressed the valve, and gas spurted out, so I feel there is fuel being delivered.

After about 5-10 minutes I can start the jeep and it will run fine for the remainder of the trip to work (about 5-10 minutes at 45mph city driving). At no time does the temp gauge show the jeep is overheating. It moves from 100 to 200 during the drive, so I feel the guage is working.

The check engine light has come one and gave a code reading of 12, 22 and 55. 12 I believe is the battery had been changed less then 50 starts ago. 22 I believe is the temperature sensor (which I replaced after getting the code, but I cannot seem to reset the check engine light). 55, which I was told is the test completed.

So now I need help from anyone who might have any ideas what is causing this. I really appreciate your assistance.

Thanks,
Joe

Joe I had a simular problem with my 1993 jeep an it was the ignition coil cost about 30 dollars to change it yourself. If that does not work it may be the crankshaft poisition sensor cost about 60 dollars. Hope this helps
