1999 Jeep Grand CHerokee loses power and dies
1999 Jeep Grand CHerokee 4.7 L V8 149K
I have a jeep grand that will just die while driving. The jeep literally loses all power. It does not appear to matter if I am at highway speeds or stopped at a light, it will just shut off with no power. Sometimes it will restart within a few minutes-other times it's hours. It was throwing an error code of P0443 (EVAP system) and I had the purge solonoid replaced today. When leaving the repair shop it died two miles away. Any ideas?
TIA!

get the fuel pressure checked as it may be a failing fuel pump.
the codee has no effect on your issue.

you need a fuel pressure gauge and hook it up to the port on the fuel rail on the motor.
