I found this for you...
Thanks for your input on the Jeep stalling problem. My husband and I viewed the many suggestions people sent in. 2 years ago he tried spraying carb cleaner into the throttle body intake. it was a quick fix but short lived. As soon as we went on vacation last year and the Jeep sat idle for a week we had the same problem. So he went with the quick fix again. It ran great. This year after vacation; same problem, only this time there was no fixing it, so this time he thought it might be the throttle position sensor because our other Jeep had that problem. Unfortunately it didn't help, so I found this forum and showed him some of the entries. After reading yours he took the Jeep to our mechanic and he hooked up his hand held computer and it displayed the message crank shaft speed sensor. We ordered the part and had him install it. That was about 2 weeks ago and so far not a problem. It's running great. So if anyone out there is having these problems with their Liberty stalling it may be that sensor.
Take only what you need.

Problem solved. My neigbour figured that it had lost its prime being a diesel. There is a prime button on the side of the fuel filter. Back in business.Thanks Willyd

When you do not own a diesel , you don,t look for the simple fix. I phoned the jeep dealer and he did not suggest checking the prime. My neigbour is a diesel mechanic and loosing the prime came out of his mouth as soon as I said it would not start. Thanks Willyd
