Intermittent no start. It cranks strong, but engine does not turn.
Seems to happen when on a slight incline. Thus far, if I push the jeep for a few feet, it starts.
Suspecting Crankshaft poition sensor?

I would expect a wire has a fault only when it is nudged just wrong by being on a hill.
I had an ignition wire that would disconnect for a fraction of a second just when I pushed the gas pedal on the highway. Starting and lower power were fine. It was not so easy to track that down.
