My 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee keeps shutting off while driving. Sometimes I can put it in neutral and restart the engine while rolling. Most times, not. After 5-10 minuets and as many times cranking, it will start right up. I'm might drive for two minuets, ten minuets or a couple hours before it does it again. I've replaced the crank sensor, and the cam sensor in the distributor. I still getting fault codes 11 & 54. Any ideas???

it is possable/likely a bad ECTS (engine coolant tep. sensor), this can cause the injectors to allow to much fuel into cylinders and cause a low compression and or flooding situation, good luck, marty

I had a similar problem with a 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis and it ended up being a bad fuel filter. But it could be a number of different things.My suggestion would be to check the vehicle on-board computer trouble codes and go from there. Good Luck.

Had similar problem with 96 Jeep 4.0L engine. Tracked it down to the connector for the distributor pickup. Spliced in another connector and hasn't stalled since. Also, have you had any codes? Easy way to check on Chrysler products: turn key on, off, on, off, on (not starting) and watch the 'engine light' on the dash. It will flash off/on. Count the flashes with short pauses between and longer pauses between code. When you get a 5 count and 5 count, that is the end. This may also help

SOURCE: My jeep grand cherokee 1999. starting up problem and shutting off while driving (not all the time). already replace crank sensor. any idea? thanks

if this is a 5.2 or a 5.9 its a bad cam sensor. its located just under the cap and rotor and its a round plastic ring with a wire harrness. you should have a code come up
