Good Day I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 2013 but the check engine light came on when I switched on the car . I noticed a bit of water on the floor when I moved forward and reversed it back in the parking . I also noticed that when I went up the road the temp went till halfway but I already changed the water pump and radiator and there is enough coolant in the car at all times. I don't know about the thermostat though could that be the issue?

I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V8. Was sitting at an intersection and the oil pressure just went to zero and my "check gages" light when on. I checked the oil the day before and oil level was fine. Anyways, in the parking lot i happened to have a quart of oil in my jeep that i dumped in. Feeling risky i started it up and the guage stayed good for a bit and then dropped back down. Feeling even more risky and desperate to get home i decided to drive it 2 miles to get back home. As i drove the gauge almost routinely would dip to zero and the "check gages" light would come on. Then it would go back up to normal for a few seconds and go back down to zero for a few seconds. It continued to do this the entire two miles. You guys have any ideas? Its got about 169,000 miles on it, and i just put a brand new oil pan on it. 5 Answers
