    The '92 4.0 engine should have a crank sensor in the top left side of the bell housing. There is also a cam sensor located under the distributor top plate, if that goes bad it will produce similar results. These sensors do go bad and when they do the issue gets eventually worse to the point that the engine will not start at all. Although you could have fuel pump issues, a pressure test should provide an indicator.

    Happens to mine only when I'm low on gas. The gauge on mine is slightly off.
