Q: Jeep shutting down below 1,000 RPMs

Your issue could have countless causes, from a vacuum leak to a faulty fuel pump. If the Check Engine Light is on, the first step is to retrieve the associated diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). These codes serve as a starting point in the diagnostic procedure.
