    1995 5.2L g.c. starts almost always when engine is cold but, after 10 drive it stalls out when at idle (light, stop sign, etc.) and won't start again until I wait 10 - 15 mins. I've left it at two different Jeep, Chyrsler dealers (3 days each) and even doing diagnostics, etc., etc., they can't figure it out either. Anyone that's experienced this dilemma PLEASE let me know what you think.
    BTW. The fuel pump is obviously working and I filled up with high test gas and put new fuel filter on. Thanks in advance for any relative insight.

    Are you getting any codes. Sounds like a sensor; cam, crank, temp, tps, etc. When your jeep is warming up its sensors are bypassed. Once it reaches operating temperature it switches to the sensors and if they are malfunctioning it will stall etc. Theyre are some good write-ups on some Comanches, Wranglers, Cherokees, and GCs having similar issues in this forum.

    I think there is a way to test sensors, because I have seen it mentioned before, but I have never done it and I don't know how.
