Hello. I drive about 2 miles and I go to turn around after and when I go to reverse my car died and I had to turn the key and start the engine again and I go back home and on the way it dies again while driving also i felt a kickback while driving 45 mph if you have any suggestions I would love your advice this is 2001 Jeep Wrangler 4.0. it was a coil pack so all 6. and 6 spark plugs. Only way it would start before was if i held the gas hard otherwise it would just die

What's your battery voltage? How old is the battery?

How do the battery terminals look? Have you cleaned or replaced them?

Have you checked your grounds? Specifically the one on the side of the engine near the battery?

If you replaced all the coils and its died then I would look at the wiring if none of the coils are firing. If you had a bad coil you would have a miss in your firing sequence.

Trace backwards.

Is there a reason why you replaced your coils?
