If it starts fine when cold, but dies when engine warms up, the #1 suspect is the crankshaft position sensor and the #2 suspect is the ignition coil.

Failing with a hot engine means you are experiencing a "THERMAL FAILURE" of a component.

The crank sensor is the most COMMON sensor failure on the Jeep 4.0

Below is a link to more on the crank sensor.

I had a similar problem with my 93 and 94...I would be driving and all of a sudden it would just turn off, but start right back up. Turned out to be the crank sensor on both of them, Hope this helps.

When a crank sensor fails, it only sets a check engine about a third of the time, maybe less than that.
