SOLVED!!!! It was the MAP sensor. Never had one kill an engine before but I guess I can believe that if it shorted internally, it took out the 5v supply which also runs the crank and cam sensors. Really an odd ball. So glad its finally fixed.
Thanks for all the tips, the little volt meters were...
Still fighting this, was on the back burner for a bit due to other projects. So, I did pull the remote start boxes, that stopped the battery from dying after sitting a few days. Yes, that is a new problem.
Back to the dying random issue, I replaced the fuel pump just because, 180k miles...
Replaced the confuser, I think it made it worse.
Also, had a wild thought and replaced the ignition switch thinking maybe the run circuit was hosed up. Well, no, back to the same old.
Still looking for ideas. I may try removing the remote start boxes next. But I had pulled the fuses to them...
Sorry, got a bit click happy there....
Good thought on the fuel pump. However, the fuel pressure is good when the event happens. Had a gauge attached to see if it was a fuel pump. Had ~50psi at all times. I originally thought it was a fuel pump, but the gauge proved otherwise.
Ok, latest attempts to do SOMETHING with this Liberty...
Replaced cam AND crank sensors. No change.
Grounds verified again, all good, no resistance between engine and body.
Voltage was ok, no over volts, runs about 13.7 when running.
I did possibly capture a few frames of an event when it...
Thanks for the feedback so far!
It does not sputter, it flat out shuts off. Like a key off. One second running fine, the next nothing.
I also considered the grounds, they look ok, and the shop also verified they were ok. But, its a good thought, I'll double check them again.
Crank sensor...
I have an 02 liberty, with 3.7 and auto. I've rebuilt the motor, had the trans rebuilt and a lot of other replacements/repairs back in early 2018. It ran great for a year or so.
This winter, around the time of severe cold, I had to replace the battery. I also ended up putting it on a...
