Default engine dies

1999 Grand Cherokee - 98,000 miles 4.0L
3 times for the last month the engine will just cut out while driving then I can restart with no problem, there seem to be no unusual conditions for this to happen, check engine lite does not come on - my scanner does not show a code - anyone with similar problem?

that used to happen to me. Sometimes it wouldn't be able to start up after shutting down for a few minutes. Replace your crank sensor. Its the usual culprit
