Re: 2000 jeep gc stops running while driving
If it's a 4.0 engine....
And for that, 99% of the time a good clean of it's plug and socket with
electronic contact cleaner will fix it. Replacing it will also scratch
a clean connection so it will work again for a while. Some folks have
had an instant restart by just unplugging it and plugging it back in
which scratches a better connection. They are low powered computer
signal sensors that are touchy for being clean.
