Recently while driving my jeep I have noticed an occassional sharp jerk like it is trying to shut off while going down the road but it would keep on trucking. Now today it cut off on me completely several times. It didn't sputter or anything it was like just like I turned the key off. I pulled over, put it in park and it would start back up and go for a while then die again. I have a suspicion what it might be but I want to hear yalls thoughts first.

Oh yeah, When I restart it after it dies it takes a few more cranks than normal before it starts back up.

Default I NEED HELP!

My problem is getting much more frequent. I'll be going down the road then the jeep will cut out for a couple seconds then it will come back. Then sometimes it will just totaly cut off and I have to pull over and start it back up. Well, today when it cut out I had to wait several minutes before it would start back up. It would crank but not start.

I've been having the same problem for quite some time and have posted the question several months ago here on the forum without and leads on what it could be. Check out the thread "Stutter/Lose power" as this seems to deal with the same problem and what I am trying to do to find this problem.
