My 2000 Grand Cherokee, V8 of course, and it was a POS. Great driving car but it mechanically sucked.

I had a cherokee once. F-in Irene came and dropped a tree on it. Split it right in 2. The door light stayed on for a week before she finally died. I was never the same after that moment.

I have been wrong before, though.

I was thinking maybe some water collected around the fuel pump motor or impeller and froze and prevented it from spinning. If there was enough water to close off a 3/8 line the car would run really bad when that water made it to the injectors, if it would even start.
I have been wrong before, though.

Could always be a coincidence as well, of course. You know much more about cars than I do.

Had a guy who pissed off his girlfriend so she ran the garden hose in his gas tank. Towed in and I pulled the tank and dried it and flushed the lines and it cost him like $500. He came back a few days later and it was barely running. She did it a second time. I felt bad and gave him a discount and told him to buy a locking gas cap.

Brakes were the biggest headache on the thing but it had a lot of other problems, too. Traded it in on a 2003 4-Runner.

I remember selling a lot of "dry gas" as a ute in the 70's at my Dad's gas station in Western Pennsylvania. I have no idea if it worked.

It's some kind of alcohol and it allows the water to bind with the gasoline so it doesn't accumulate. It works, I always recommended it when people had water in their fuel system, even after cleaning the tank.

Done. Wish I could say I did it all by myself but Mrs Bam had to get both sides of the bar tape started. I feel nothing but shame.
