[QUOTE="Cooperstock, post: 458855, member: 25163"] Hello, Our jeep started having a strange problem seemingly out of the blue. It randomly seems to die (engine shuts off) while driving. I haven't been able to 'force' it to happen. It has happened while driving AND while sitting at a light. While driving, the initial symptom is that it shifts strange (like kind of a hiccup), then it dies. But when sitting at a light this obviously isn't the same. I can put it in N and restart it while coasting. It doesn't throw any codes It doesn't seem to be related to: Accelerating heavy Coasting Hitting bumps shaking or wiggling the keys in the ignition Its a 2016 Sahara 4 door with 35" tires, the retracting rock rails, stock stereo, AC works. 85k miles. I have tried driving hard (getting RPMs up) then shifting to N to see if the engine doesn't 'catch' idle, but the time time I tried it no issue. The only thing I have found is the Air intake temp sensor has the clip broken off, so could be loose? Not sure this would cause this issue. Thoughts? Thanks a bunch Dave [/QUOTE]
