97 Wrangler dies while driving

So just got my jeep and now it will die while driving and then take a few minutes before it will start again. It all started with my radio going out, then the turn signals would stop, and now it dies every other day and just cranks amd cranks without ever starting. Wait a few and then it starts again. Any ideas? Maybe ignition switch?

 

do you want to guess OR try and find the issue -diagnose ?

First thing we want to do check for codes - scans are FREE at many auto part stores, just copy down all codes they retrieve and post here.
>> FYI - the CEL can be out and still have codes stored.

Are there and modifications, recent repairs, add on's, esp powertrain related...

What is yur comfort level - skilled, a DIYer, or where do I add gas ?

 

Just got the jeep and had no symptoms during the pre-purchase test drive. I think it's possessed.....

 

I'm a DIYer as best as I can. Ive always had a Chevy till now. Havent had Any codes checked yet. The radio stopped working 2 weeks after I got it and said check wiring, then the blinker wouldn't work... Now it dies as im driving. Quite the progression.

 

It does have a 2 inch lift also. Not sure if that matters.

 

lets do the codes check - autozone, advance, orielys do FREE scans as a customer service.

You did not mention having to jump the battery that is good, Is there a remote starter?
If yes stop using it and stick with the key start as we try to work thru this.

I will ask did you check fuses?

 

No I use the key to start it. I have checked the fuses. The battery is fine also.

 

Wile you're at those parts stores (autozone, advance, orielys) getting the free scan get the alternator+battery checked too to eliminate some variables.
