I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V6 4.0
It has been dying on me without warning. I'll be driving and the next thing I know I'm coasting no engine very hard to steer.
It may start back up immediately or it may take several tries and several minutes...When I finally get to where I was headed like church...come out in about an hour and it may or may not start immediately. A mechanic told me he thinks it's the crank shaft sensorand replacing it is going to cost me around $300.00
What do you think?

It...
Looked up part at autozone it's about 34.00...the sensor is on top of the bell housing a little hard to get to but can be done....$300 is a little steep in my opinion

cj2176 is correct, we need a lttle more info. Sounds like it will need a new fuel pump or something related to it. Since it starts on starting fluid it has compression and air and spark, just no fuel. Fuel pumps can just stop working while driving, and if not working obviously will not start. No caodes will be set for a fuel pump not working. If it cranks but does not start have someone pound on the bottom of the fuel tank with a fist or small rubber mallet lightly (don't damage the tamk) while your cranking the engine. If it starts, the fuel pump module in the tank is bad.
If you had a blown head gasket you should have water/coolant all over or in your oil. Check your throttle positioning sensor according to specs in your haynes manual. My 02 jeep grand cherokee was chattering while I was driving and ended up dying on the highway and I coasted into this town and luckly an auto parts store was right there. I tested it and it cost me 70 dollars.
