So the Jeep is doing something new now, occasionally as I drive it sort of hiccups, the closest thing to describe it to is how a car jumps when you put it in gear and let the clutch out and it stalls, how it lurches forward...and sometimes at idle it cuts out, put it in park and it starts back up and yesterday for the first time at 40 mph it stalled. My research shows that its either the crank sensor or the cam sensor. Any insight? anyone have this problem before?

I'm headed down to Laurel to give up my truck for a couple hours. If anyone's around, feel free to hit me up. I'll be sitting, twirling my thumbs. Hoping to get some in-progress pics if they'll let me back there.

Replace it soon though - it'll steadily get worse, until finally it'll leave you stranded...in the harbor tunnel...at rush hour...
