2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Dies ONLY when hot outside

We have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 4.7L that keeps dying when it is hot outside. No warning, it is not overheating, there are no codes, and it doesn't matter what speed you're going. You can crank and crank and it will not start. You have to sit for 3-5 minutes on the side of the road, without cranking it and then it will start again. We recently just spent quite a bit replacing immobilizer, key sentry -still happening. We tried the whole screws of the computer thing that is posted in this forum - still didn't work. The thing is - it is ONLY during the hot part of the day. Never happens at any other time. Let me know what you think it could be. It's driving us crazy, and like so many of the rest of you, we're about to drive it off the cliff. PLEASE HELP!!

Maybe you should try seeing if the fuel pump is overheating. Does it still break down if your tank is more than half full?

It could also be a broken temperature sensor somewhere, but this is very unlikely. Its probably something that has to do with the fuel injection system.

It breaks down no matter how full the tank is. I was thinking it was the fuel pump too but am no mechanic. How would I go about finding out if it is the fuel pump that is overheating?

Video lagging, but after power drain okay

Hi there,



I'm having video lagging issues with all games and also when I switch to full screen with flash player, minimized it is fine. But after I do the power drain trick it all goes back to normal, I am happy there is a quick fix for it but I'm wondering if anyone else is having these problems and if there is something I can do to stop this from happening.

I only bought this a bit over a week ago, video drivers are all up-to-date. Any help would be great, Cheers.

IE9 and Notebook review forums problem

I have been having a discussion with the admin of Notebook Review forums about an issue with IE9 and the version of vBulletin that is being used here. Specifically, when I click on the icon to go to the first unread message in a thread, I wind up back to the same message I read days ago. Sometimes this can be four or more PAGES back from the next to be read message.



The admin I spoke with is seeing the same issue, but it appears to be only an issue for IE9 users. I visit a few other forums that user the same software and don't have the problem there, but at least one of them is on the latest version of vBulletin. The admin indicated that the version here is slightly modified from the stock version and might be a contributing factor.



What I am asking of the folks here is,

1. Please ONLY respond if you are using IE9.

2. Please don't suggest your favorite browser as a solution. I am trying to find out why IE9 is reacting this way.

3. Tell me if you are seeing the same issue.

4. Tell me if you visit other forums using vBulletin and if the problem exists there. Making specific note if they are on version 3.6.4 (the version # always appears at the bottom of every vBulletin page)



Thanks for the help. I promised the admins here I'd compile and report back any findings.

The only question from the ones you have listed that I can answer within the guidelines that you mention is whether I have experienced the same problems using IE9.



The answer to that is yes. I now use the "New NBR Style", which does NOT show the same problems as using the vBulletin version.

Reply 2 : IE9 and Notebook review forums problem

I use IE9 exclusively and Ione not seen the issue here, but I have seen it at the Sister Site TabletPC Review.



I also frequent Pocketables.net and they use V bulletin and have had no issues there or at TabletPC Buzz another V bulletin site.



HTH,

Reply 3 : IE9 and Notebook review forums problem

I'm using IE9, and have indeed seen this issue on NBR. FWIW, I also experienced this in IE8.

vBulletin default style

Reply 5 : IE9 and Notebook review forums problem

OK for those of you seeing the issue, which "skin" are you using? On the lower left of every page, just above the vBulletin version number is a drop down box. I had been using the "vBulletin default style" since it minimized the number of ads, but I hear reports that that may actually be the culprit and if I switch to "NotebookReview Style" the issue will go away. I did so last night but cannot tell yet if this is a fix or not. I'll give it a day and report back.

Which "skin" are you using here? (See my question above.)

I've been using the vB default style as well. Will switch to "Ads Galore" and report back.



Edit: nope, just happened again in several threads with the new NRB style.

Truly the NEW NBR Style or just NBR style (two different options)??? I ask because try as I might I cannot select the "NEW NBR" Style at all.

Can anyone recommend gaming mouse bit smaller than Razer Deathadder

Can anyone recommend gaming mouse bit smaller than Razer Deathadder?



I added pic, so hope you guys can help me with correct mouse

Reply 1 : Can anyone recommend gaming mouse bit smaller than Razer Deathadder

Razer naga would be your safest bet.

I own a lot of razer mice (naga, deathadder, copperhead, 2x boomslangs). The one I like the best is by far the Naga (the boomslangs are great aswell, but they are too big for your hand I guess)

Reply 2 : Can anyone recommend gaming mouse bit smaller than Razer Deathadder

Look at the Orochi as well.

If your looking for a smaller mouse go with the Logitech g9 or even razer orochi. I had the same case as you and after having both razer Mamba and orochi I feel that the orochis much better on your hands.

Naga is a lot bigger than Deathadder. He wants smaller.

Thanks for the reply guys. I'll try Orochi.

Look at the comparison photo there. Naga is smaller than Deathadder. It has more buttons, but is smaller. You need a smaller device to be able to handle all the buttons it has.

Isn't that the point of the Accessories forum? People have questions about what's a good mouse/keyboard/headset/whatever for them, so here's the place to ask them.

Reply 9 : Can anyone recommend gaming mouse bit smaller than Razer Deathadder

I understand that may be the point of the topic, and it helps to keep forum activity up, but it's that it is virtually the SAME posts over and over again. I wish I had kept ALL of my mice that I have cycled through (virtually the full razer/logitech lines since the MX518) and have them all side by side, it would knock out most of the "looking for a mouse bigger than x" posts . It just seems like it isn't NEW questions being asked, but rather the exact same ones over and over.

Windows Live Essentials did not do clean uninstall

I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials 2011 through Programs and Features. It left several folders in the Registry and Windows Live Mail on the HD. Although I own and granted permission for the Live Mail folders, these "trusted installer" files will not delete. After uninstalling programs in past OS, I have always gone into the Registry and manually cleaned out remaining files that were not uninstalled. I would like to do the same for the remains of Windows Live Essentials in the Registry, but because it has "Windows" in the name, I am reluctant to remove from the Registry...... I am not sure if it is linked to anything else. I have CCleaner, but apprehensive about using in the Registry.

Can some wise person let me know if I manually remove Windows Live Essentials and its family folders from the Registry the sky will not fall down (that said, I don't know if the trusted installer folders on the HD and in the Registry will allow removal)

My thanks......Miki

The registry doesn't update until after a reboot. Have you rebooted yet after the uninstall? If not try that.

If so, and the registry entries remain, I would be very reluctant to remove them. We all know how Microsoft integrates its components into the OS and into the registry, (viz, Internet Explorer), and while I don't see why this particular software should be so closely combined into the OS, I simply don't know.

Be sure you know how to recover from a fail if you remove those registry items and the system becomes unstable or fails to load.

With the folders it might be easier. I would just rename the folders temporarily and test the system for stability, and if you experience no problems after a few days, then they will be safe to delete.

create a restore point if run it. I use it and registry mechanic for years and never had to use the restore point it created because they never damaged anything.

Reply 4 : Windows Live Essentials did not do clean uninstall

I am still somewhat skeptical about using CCleaner in the Registry, particularly when it is just as easy for me to delete something manually. Although CCleaner creates a restore point, my problem is I do not know if removing the files in question is advisable. Having said that, I would still have to make that decision even if I used CCleaner.

Thank you for replying.....Miki

Reply 5 : Windows Live Essentials did not do clean uninstall

.....on a Windows Live forum discussion re manually uninstalling Windows Live Essentials. It lists Windows Live Essentials files to delete from the Registry.
Another forum lists the directories to delete. Seeing these posts answers my question that the files are not linked to anything else. Having said that, I always feel better if I receive a "green light" from this Forum.

Reply 6 : Windows Live Essentials did not do clean uninstall

And a good test of other forum advice is if someone comes back with a report saying either, "It worked", or "You just destroyed my machine",

But from what you say, a 'green light' from me.
