While driving my jeep has died. Traveling at anywhere from 25mph to 75mph. There are no clues it's going to happen. It doesn't happen every time I drive. I'm not sure what else I could tell you.

Sounds like a cam sensor problem. Does it start right up after it stalls, or do you have to wait about 10 minutes before it will restart?

No it does not start right away. I have to wait about a minute or two.
