So my Jeep has been running fine for a while now. On my way home from work the other day the CEL popped up and i thought id get to it when i got home..well ten miles later my jeep just died on the highway, lost everything, gauges all down..5 seconds later while coasting everything came back up and i was just like wtf...rolled into a gas station and it died in the middle of parking lot..i got out and checked connections under the hood and everything looked decent from a qucik check...closed the hood and it fired right up..curious i thought, ill see if i can baby it home and investigate further...well that was a mistake,,,died on the freeway again and then i couldnt start it...waited about 20 minutes and it started up again, got about 1/4 mile down the road and it died again...waited a few minutes and it finally started again and then only got anothher 1/4 mile...called the tow trucker to get home...fast forward 2 days and i went to turn my jeep around in the driveway to face the garage and it died again...then i got the camera out and took this video...any ideas?!?!?

Hey everyone...ive been reading a lot and watching YouTube...im thinking it could be the Crank Position Sensor(CPS)...anyone have any idea?

GarrettJ

Anyone? I wont be able to get a CPS today so does anyone know what else I could check?

Crank position sensor is the most likely culprit.

Is your fuel pressure good when the engine dies? It could be fuel related as well. It does not sound like it is battery related, or ignition related to me.

Have you checked any of the CEL codes?

GarrettJ

dont know about the fuel pressure..about to go get a pressure checker here in a couple minutes from autozone...

and i have no codes stored..the CEL flashes but no codes on scanner

Definitely nothing electrical or battery related, sounds about right on the CPS, doesn't seem like injector issues either, if you can, get a code reading and send us back a report and we can help determine the issue, my first guess will be CPS

Hey everyone...seems this was in fact the CPS/CKS! Old one looked fine minus some dirt but ohmmed out open(OL)! 20 minutes to change out and boom...let it idle up to temp, did a little forward and reverse, and then took her for a spin..ran for about 40 minutes total before i parked it again...thanks to everyone that helped!
