97 XJ Auto Engine Shut off?
Has anyone heard of an "Auto Engine Shut-off" on a 97 XJ Cherokee? I have
one and so does my friend Tom. I have had all the standard problems that come with owning an XJ and have been able to fix it without too much trouble. Tom hasn't had nearly the problem as mine, I think because his has fewer miles and he's been know to replace the parts that I have had go bad before they went bad on his. Smart but I think expensive. Tom stumped my knowledge of XJ anatomy with an "Auto Engine Shut-off" fuse that blows every time he hits a sizable bump (washboards on a gravel road does it every time). I no longer have the owners manual and Tom say it shows where it's located in the fuse panel and power distribution center but I don't find it on mine. Haney's Reference Book makes no mention of it and nothing says what triggers the fuse to blow. Any idea or can anyone tell me what to look for. It seems to shut down the ECU and not a fuel cut off.

Brian ^^^^^^^^ Been a while since I had my XJ, but isn't the Auto Shut Down relay in the panel under the hood? I thought it was a relay and not a fuse? Maybe that's in my Wrangler.

There are several things that will shut the engine off.... number one is not seeing good fuel pressure within a very short time after the pump starts. It isnt a fuse on the ZJ 4.0 which likely has pretty similar lectronics. |

ASD feed is PDC fuse 18 for 97 XJ, fuse 20 for 97 ZJ. |
