When I accelerated hard jeep cuts off the fuel supply to the engine for a second, blinks the check engine light, and doesn’t stall the vehicle completely. If I accelerate hard many times in a row and cause this fuel cut off the car will produce two codes u0100 and p0700. The P0700 code indicates that there’s a malfunction with your vehicle’s Transmission Control Module (TCM). This computer monitors your transmission and works with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and Engine Control Module (ECM) to shift gears when necessary. It’s an integral part of any modern automatic transmission. P0700 0732 0731 0733 0734 and my old 0507 I reset the codes after reading them and reset the Computer with the SCT. But the jeep was in limp mode. Turned the key off,then restarted the engine and all acted normal except if I romped on the gas, Then the codes would appear again. Last time I cleared them there was a 876 code as well. The P0700 is a somewhat generic trans fault code, which as you referenced, is more often than not the input/output sensor. I pulled the same general code several months ago, where the 'actual' code turned out to be the fluid pressure sensor (P0846). I was lucky and was just a bit low on fluid.
P0700 JEEP Transmission Control System Malfunction
– Shorted or open circuit within Transmission Control Module (TCM)
– Faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM)
Since the P0700 JEEP is just and informative code, check the TCM for more codes to resolve the problem.
– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
– Driveability problems
– Transmission shifting problems
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) monitors the malfunction of sensors and actuators relating to transmission control. When the TCM detects a malfunction with the control, a signal is send to the Engine Control Module (ECM) to trigger the Engine Light or Service Engine Soon light. The ECM stores the P0700 JEEP code and it means the TCM detected a malfunction with the transmission controls.

Jeep Code P0300 Definition
Random/Multiple cylinder misfire detected.
Commonly associated with Jeep codes: P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306,P0307, P0308
What Does Jeep P0300 Mean?
Jeep code P0300 indicates that one or more cylinders are experiencing misfires. A misfire occurs when an insufficient amount of fuel is burning in a cylinder. The efficient burning of fuel is essential to engine operation as the combustion of fuel is what provides the energy to power the engine in your Jeep. A misfire from one or more cylinders can be caused by many reasons from a faulty ignition system, fuel system or internal engine failure. When P0300 occurs it should be fixed immediately as long term driving with engine misfires could cause consequential damage to the engine in your Jeep. Many times P0300 occurs when there are worn out spark plugs, spark plug wires, or a faulty ignition coil.
Jeep P0300 Symptoms
Check Engine Light is onCheck Engine Light flashingEngine runs rough and shakingLack of power from the engineFuel smell from the exhaustHesitations/Jerking when accelerating
Jeep P0300 Causes
(* = Most Common)
Faulty or worn spark plugs *Faulty spark plug wires or coils *Distributor failure *Faulty fuel injector *Vacuum leakLow fuel pressureCamshaft sensor defectiveCrankshaft sensor defectiveEngine timing offLeaking head gasketLow engine compressionPoor quality fuel
Jeep Code P0300 Severity – Severe
Jeep code P0300 should be repaired immediately. Ignoring this error could result in ignition failure, catalytic converter damage, and unsafe/dangerous conditions while operating your Jeep.

How To Diagnose Jeep Code P0300
Use FIXD to scan your Jeep to verify P0300 is the only code present. If other codes are present, they must be addressed first.Check for loose connectors at the ignition coils or for damaged wiring. Look for loose engine ground wires as well. These can cause random misfire conditions. Tighten or connect where necessary.Check the condition of your spark plugs and spark plug wires. Worn and old spark plug wires are common causes of random misfires. Replace spark plugs and wires if needed and recheck for misfires.How to identify a fouled spark plugHow to test spark plug wiresHow to gap spark plugsHow to replace spark plugs
If you have determined that your ignition system is operating correctly, there may be a problem within your fuel system that is causing the random misfires. The following should be checked to ensure the engine is getting the proper amount of fuel:Check fuel pressure. Low fuel pressure can cause intermittent misfires on multiple cylinders. When the pressure is below the specification, the engine does not receive the proper amount of fuel and will start to lean misfire. The fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator could be the source of the low fuel pressure.How to check fuel pressure
Check that the fuel injectors are functioning properly and activating. Random misfires can be a sign of faulty or clogged fuel injectors that need to be replaced. Also check that the fuel injector wiring is not damaged and is connected properly.How to check fuel injectors by earHow to check fuel injectors with a digital multimeter
If the ignition system and fuel system checks out you may want to perform an engine compression test and leakdown test to see if there are any mechanical problems causing your misfire. Some common mechanical problems that cause misfire can be:Broken valve springBroken piston ringWorn valve guidesBurned valveTiming chain or belt skipped tooth and engine is off time.
