Car dies when I hit a bump...

My 89 Jeep Cherokee Laredo shuts off every time I hit a bump.... We already changed the ignition module an d the crank sensor. We also tested the ignition coil which is fine... What could it be?

Maybe unkept, broken wires to Coil, Distributor, ETC

Fire him up, and start shakin' stuff METHODICALLY, till it dies, home in on the area and/ or device causing ignition termination.

Since This is my hobby, and like a Soap Opera, Please let me know Why Susie left Ridge with Blanch's baby!

Just like to know if I made a difference. The Medic

Roger fixitmr, They just keep doing it for years and years and years and years, like 65 year old "WILLY", my 1946 Willys. Usually we look for 'em, I think they are avoiding them now, till we get him fixed! Whats your take on this situation?--The Medic
