I'm sick of looking for a new truck and all the hs involved. My jeep randomly stalls. It's a 94 with a 99 grand Cherokee engine. Had it at the mechanic and he said he had to go thru a bunch of crank positioning sensors to get one to work and it still stalls. Is there anyway I can tear out the ecumenical crap and run a carb until I have more money to buy something new?

I'm not trying to insult. But I think it would be cheaper and easier to get a new mechanic.

Bad strategy. You need to isolate your problem.

The EFI system on the 4.0 is actually pretty darn hardy and reliable.

TPS goes from .060 to .200 volts when installed, but up to 4.8 volts uninstalled.
