Normally the problem is electrical, something gets hot and looses contact. Could be a relay, coil, sensor, or several other components.
When it will not start you will need to figure out if you are missing spark to the plugs or fuel to the injectors to proceed.

if there is a knocking sound the computer will start retarding the timing to get rid of engine knock thru the knock sensor. Make sure you are using the correct grade of fuel. it will be listed in your owners manual. the improper grade of fuel can cause detonation in your engine. giving a knocking sound. if the change in fuel doesn't help you may be looking at mechanical repairs. hope this helps. mike

SOURCE: my engiene cut out while driving and wont start

Did you check for good compression? You may have either jumped timing or have a broken timing belt. I would check engine compression first. If it's good then move on to checking your fuel and ignition systems.

Location of crankshaft censor for 1996 jeep 4l auto? Engine cuts out when warm. After 20 minutes it starts again. Sometimes it idles but when I put it into D it cuts out again when warm.

could be many things
the crank shaft cencor
the coil or coils
the main one that seems to always go is the modual under the cap if it has a distribtor. or if not it could be the main computer. when the computer gets hot it just shuts down and reboots
if not then you will have to get some way to get the code to fix it

I have a 1997 Dodge Avenge and can drive it for about 2 miles and it starts sputering and dies

check the crank sensor next to or behind the main crank pulley, these are known to fail when hot and cut the engine out until it has cooled for a few minutes.

Cuts off in warm weather after about 10 miles

Don't rule out fuel pump. Had a 95 do the same, ran great when cool in morning then when it got hot in afternoon, it would quit. Wait 15-20 minutes & go again, sometimes got me home, other times a few more miles until it cooled down again. Luckily I had access to a fuel pressure gauge. Cool in morning had 49 psi, when it quit, 2 psi. Wait 20 minutes, 49 psi again. If you can drive it around until it starts to act up then run into a repair shop for fuel pressure test it will confirm it. If not, they may need it all day to monitor the fuel pressure & confirm it is pump. If your a gambler, change it & fuel filter. One thing I did get was trouble codes indicating a lean mixture, due to starving for fuel. Have you cycled your key to retrieve any codes yet?
