Default Need help on 1995 disco...dies intermittently

My 95 disco will fire and run but then intermittently die and not re-fire. After I let it sit for a little while it will fire back up and drive. I have done some research and the symptoms match a dying crank position sensor but my 95 doesnt have one only 96 and newer. Anyone have the same issue and a fix?

Just a little more info. I have replaced the plugs and wires, and done a full fluid/filter change. The rig will usually start and run fine for a while but then all of a sudden will die and not re-fire, just crank over and over. It will also not re-fire after being turned off from driving. If i let it sit for a little bit it will then fire and repeat the whole process. Thank in advance for the help.

I had a similar thing going last week, mine was corrision (sp) on the fuel pump connector at the fuel pump, you might try some electrical connector cleaner

Obviously it cranks. So you're missing either spark or fuel..

Figure out which one and go from there...
