First....use an OEM sensor...1996 Jeep Grand Cherokees have been known to not work properly on non- OEM Crankshaft sensors. Excessive heat can cause it to go bad. Proper installation is critical. Also there is a joint in the wiring from the sensor to the PCM. It can corrode and sometimes cause stalling of the engine whether the engine is cold or hot. PCM could be going bad.
