97 ZJ 4.0 dying issues
So I just got my zj and the issue I'm having is that it will randomly die while driving. Sometimes it won't do it at all and other times it dies a few times in a row. Sometimes it fires right back up but usually it takes a little bit of time to fire. Also today when it happened on restart it didn't want to idle up when pushing the gas and it died doing that 3 times then started and idled normal and I was able to drove off. I have replaced wires and plugs and ignition coil and there is a newer cap and rotor and crank shaft position on it. I have tried wiggling the pcm wiring around while restarting but that doesn't always seem to help. Any help would be nice

Fixed?
Hope so, but did you find it was a pcm issue? My 98 zj had/has same problem, done lots of research, found a "lazy pcm" could be problem, and replacing three capacitors on pcm board, however those symptoms don't exactly match my issues.
So keep looking and cola solder joint issues match my issues same as yours. I took my pcm to a friend that repairs circuit boards and he's working on it and looking for board schematic as a couple places on board are possible damaged foil runs.
Hope you've had better luck than I have. But if fixed I'd like to know what you came up with.
