Over the past month i've noticed my 98 wrangler started running a little rough - when at a stop light at idle, I could feel a little fluctuation in how smooth the engine would run.
A week ago, when shifting from reverse to drive, the engine stalled. The only way to avoid this is to come to a complete stop, pause, and then put it in drive.
Fearing that is was the transmission, I tried putting it in 1st instead of drive and it stalled immediately.

Had the crank sensor replaced and this did nothing to help. Another mechanic looked it over and said they can't tell what's wrong. My next step is to go to the Jeep dealer, but I'm hoping someone can give me some idea of what is going on before this becomes a $$ pit.
