00 Jeep Grand Cherokee, turns off while driving or parked. It will crank but, no start.Turns back on in a few minutes, but lately it has been longer and longer before it turns back on. I notice it happens after the engine as warmed up.

Check crank positioning sensor.

Testimonial: "Crank shaft positioning sensor has just been replaced. Not luck there. Still turning off."

SOURCE: engine will not fire or run,but turns over like it should.

Not sure if it will be the same for your model of Jeep but but I had the same problem with my 98 Cherokee. Turned out to be the Crankshaft Position Sensor. Sits on the upper drivers side of the tranny and can block voltage to the fule pump and distributor. Found it by getting a error code reader from AutoZone (free loan) and looking up the error code. Replaced the CPS ($89) and started right up.

You say you changed the cam sensor. A1391 code is a crank sensor on the top of the trans. bell housing.

a bad cam sensor will cause vehicle to shut off while driving, and cause a hard time starting. but this usually sets a trouble code p0340. scan vehicle to see if any codes come up. after it is fixed, erase codes with a obd2 scanner. if you do not have one, you can go to any auto parts store and they will erase codes for free.

I have a 1994 jeep grand cherokee and it always starts up, but sometimes it just shuts off randomly while I'm driving and after a few minutes of rest turns back on, the battery will still be worki

Install a new crank shaft sensor. I had the same problem with my wife's Jeep. It would run fine fore days at a time then quit. When the crank sensor goes out their is no spark or injection of fuel into the engine. This is a Hall Sensor. They can be intermittent, and affected bu heat. If your Jeep will not start, try freeing the sensor and see if it starts. Cold Freeze is used in electronics to test

Where is the crankshaft sensor located on 2003 grand cherokee 4.0

Could be the trouble,I think it is in the bellhousing,just behind the engine,
about 1:00 (get to it from under the hood) It pokes thru the housing and
"watches" the flywheel instead of the crank pulley ,like most others.

My 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Will die going down the road. Sometimes it starts back up without me touching the key.other times I have to wait a few minutes before it will crank again.Any suggestions? Thank...

I've got to be reading this incorrectly...You are driving, the engine turns off...you pull off the road? And then without touching the key the engine re-starts, but you haven't touched the key? Or, sometimes you need to sit there for a few minutes and then turn the key to start it?

Once in Drive, Jeep does not easily shift back to Park

Try to check the trans mission gears of your 1995 jeep grand cherokee.The shift fork and the clutch sleeve of the trans mission is locking to the other gears .And then also check the starter motor and its solenoid.if the starter motor solenoid is destroyed or worn out replace .

Back up a minute...Do you have spark from the coil wire? (juice from coil) If so, change or check rotor and cap (wires do not all go bad at same time so unless they are wet, likely at least good enough to start engine)
