I was facing an issue with my son's 2015 Jeep Wrangler V6 3.6 engine. Without any apparent reason, it would lose power momentarily, the RPM would drop to 0 for about a second and then return to normal. Surprisingly, there were no check engine lights, error codes, or any other indicators of the problem.
This issue started a few months ago and initially happened once a month. However, over time, it became more frequent, occurring once a week and eventually 1–2 times a day. My son took the car to several garages in Dubai, but none of them could identify or fix the problem.
Determined to help, I started researching online. That’s when I came across a YouTube video where someone described the exact same problem and shared their solution. The issue was resolved by replacing the crankshaft position sensor. This sensor is located under the passenger side of the engine and is held in place by a single screw, making it a simple and inexpensive fix.
When I went to purchase the new sensor, I noticed that the part number was slightly different from the original one. The salesperson assured me it was the same part, with just one letter changed, and confirmed it was the correct replacement. We bought it for approximately $30 USD, replaced it ourselves, and so far the problem has completely disappeared.
I just wanted to share this experience in case it helps someone facing a similar issue in the future.
