Crank positon sensors commonly fail. Check to see if you have spark at the coil. If there isn't spark then its a good indication your crank position sensor failed. Its abot $75.00
 
The sensor has a plug on the driver side of the engine and the sensor bolts to the bell housing of the flywheel driver side. Its a pain to replace without a universal joint and 18" extension.

I have an 04 jgc, when I go over bumps, the speedometer drops off, at low speeds, it will just stall, you had to replace the computer?, which one?

my prob was solved the first mechanic put the crank sencer in crossthreaded spent alot of money to find that out sounds like you have a loose connection the computer we changed was the main computer had to program the whole thing again in the end we put the old one back in.good luck.

Help!!! I have been going through this problem since November. 3 shops and now with the dealer for the 4th time in a 6 weeks. No matter what the speed, the car will just cut off. Sometimes it starts right back and sometimes it does not. Any suggestions will greatly be appreciated.
I have changed the cam shaft sensor, EFI module, fuel pump, plugs, wire, distributor, rotor button, battery and the pins on the computer connection. Did I miss anything. Now the dealer has a team working on it. Please send prayers .
