Randomly Dies
I have a 98 xj. 4.0 auto trans. Runs great. every once in a blue moon, when im accelerating, its like a switch is flipped and its like i let off the gas. Just a slight hesitation. Now, been happening like once or twice a day, it runs fine, but will just die. Fires right back up like nothing tho. Anything i should check or should i just order the Crank Position sensor and install it?
