Shuts off while driving

Loose battery connections or battery with bad cells. Go to Auto Zone and let them check your battery.

it is your air idle control valve witch is located on the back of the throttle body..

If you disconnect the negative battery cable and connect a 12V test light between the battery negative post and the negative battery cable terminal the light will burn if there's a draw. Make sure all electrical consumers are off and all doors closed when doing this draw test. If the light is on start pulling 1 fuse at a time until the light goes out, when it goes out that's the circuit that has the draw. Trace it from there.

Is this the headlight bulb replacement or headlight (assembly) replacement? For bulb replacement:

coat wire ends and starter studs with die-electric grease, battery protector, spray paint , or something non metalic.

1996 is about the year that OBD II, came about. Not sure witch one you have. OBD I, cars could clear codes by removing negative battery post. Problem doesn't always leave. I'd take it to an Auto Zone or Advance Auto where they will scan it for free and tell you what your problem is and of course what part they can sell you.lbreen

I just had the same problem on my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 6 cyl. Mine was the Camshaft Position Sensor. Only available at the dealership and cost $85.00 at the parts counter. Easy to install - remove the distributor cap and rotor. Sensor is a flat disc sitting in distributor with wire running to connection at side of engine. Remove the sensor and install the new one in same position. try it you'll like it. If not then go for the Crankshaft position sensor. Go to the auto parts store and also buy a new distributor cap and rotor while you are at it. GOOD LUCK!
