Look for a loose wire. That's about the only thing I can think of that would produce those symptoms.

Are you below 1/4 tank of gas when this happens? Johnswane(sp) had a similar problem and said that it ended up being the fuel pump. I have the same thing happen to me on my 98 during lefts. I have been too lazy to drop the tank and change it (and the lack of funds), to see if it fixes the problem. Apparently it worked for John though.

Maybe even fuel pressure regulator or fuel pump, we changed them out on my dad's last night. His was dying going uphills. Just a thought- you can have a pressure test done under the hood. They hook up a gauge to the fuel rail.

I have a friend that this was happening to in his wrangler. Would make a left hand turn and the engine would die. Straten the steering wheel and it would fire back up. Turned out to be the steering colum pinching one of the ignition wires when turning left. This was caused by him pulling himself in by grabbing the steering wheel.

97s and up have the capsule in the tank. It's a sender+p/u+ screen+ filter+ pump+ regulator all in one deal....
