You never know with Jeeps, folks do put some strange engines in them.
LOL!
Someone else is asking about using a slant 6 even over on another
group...
Yours is a 4.0 or 242ci then.
Then I would look near the drivers side rear on top of the manifold near
the brake booster for a plug and socket with a red and white I believe
they are wires in it. This plug and socket need to be opened up and
cleaned with a spray contact cleaner likely.
This is the connection for the CPS and it fails just like you describe.
They stuck it on top of the exhaust manifold for some strange reason.
This passes computer signals and can be corroded even when 'looking'
clean. Electronic stores sell spray contact cleaner or in a pinch you
can use WD40 which is a solvent and water displacer. I recommend
dielectric grease on the plug seal skirts when you put it back
together. Spark plug boot protector will work.
