After a long day of trouble shooting why my 1996 Jeep Cherokee randomly died while driving without any warning I need some input. So I drove for about 20 minutes before the Jeep just shut off, will crank but won’t turn over when warm, wait 30-90 minutes and starts just fine and runs for about 20 minutes then just shuts off again but here’s the thing it doesn’t sputter or idle rough or anything it just turns off as if the computer tells it to. Jeep was running at about 223 F while sitting in the sun today and idling at about 800 rpms. Thinking something catalytic converter/o2 sensor related but would that cause the Jeep to just shut down? It could be a lot of things so I’m hoping somebody has had a similar situation
