Default cherokee will sputter and die when hitting bumps

hey guys im new to this forum. currently having trouble with my 2000 jeep grand cherokee. when ever i hit a big enough bump it would sputter and die out. or if i go over a really rough surface it would have a feeling of running out of gas then struggle to stay on. just engine would die radio and lights will stay on. i currently have 116,xxx miles. starter was replaced, fuel line recently, oil change, new filters, plugs and wires. thanks

Sounds like a loose connection in the ignition system. Check the plug connector at the cam position sensor.
