Q: Hi Steven, what's the labor time for a crankshaft position sensor on a 2004 jeep cherokee?

asked by on August 01, 2017

Hi, believe I have a crankshaft position sensor that needs to be replaced, although it isn't showing a code. Engine stalls going down the road, lose all gauges and will turn over but not start. After it cools off the next morning, it will start again but does the same thing within a mile. Sounds like the sensor once it gets hot is shutting the engine down. Already replaced battery hoping it was that simple. What's the labor time for this on the 2004 jeep cherokee?

My car has 228000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
