Jeep is having problems please help
I have a 96 xj 4.0 and I've been having some problems with it running and also when I get it running it dies and won't start but will crank. I've replaced Spark plugs, Exhaust Manifold, Fuel rail,
Injectors, Ignition coil, Cps,Battery, Alternator, Distributor cap and Fuel pump. Now it starts but while I'm driving it just shuts off randomly but if I put it in neutral and turn the key it will crank over.

I had a similar problem on my 90 XJ and it turned out to be a bad connection at the ignition coil. If I remember correctly, it's a 2 wire connector located at the base of the block the ignition coil mounts to. Unplugged it, cleaned it, plugged it back in..............never had that problem again.
This may not be the problem with yours but, it's certainly worth checking.
