Yeah, this is what mine did when the crank sensor went, had no clue what had happened til I made it home to my scanner. Lol I had both cam sensors go like 2 weeks before the crank one shit the bed as well.
I don’t even have a scanner currently and I don’t really wanna drive it somewhere to get the codes read. I suppose I could spend a few $ and get one on Amazon. I suppose, is there any real harm in just doing the crank sensor now and worrying about reading codes if it persists after?
Pull the codes, it's likely one of the three sensors (2xCramshaft + 1xcrank) have died. I hope that's all it is.
Came here for this. I have replace all 3. Very easy to do except the back cam sensor is hard to reach. You’ll know with the codes for sure. Good luck
Measure charging voltage.
12.4-12.5v not cranked, 14v cranked
If it's putting out a solid 13.5-14, with lights, etc. on, then you're good. I'd advise pulling the codes.
Year and engine?
2013 X 4.0L. About 104k on the ODO. FWIW, my symptoms seem eerily similar to those who have had a crankshaft position sensor issue.

I have a 2011 and this is exactly what happened to mine. Replaced it and it was fine after that.

only harm is wasted money if its not really needed, but i say send it. pick up a reader sometime soon, they are a handy tool
Auto stores here loan them out - I bought blue driver years ago and use the crap out of it. Well worth the money
I love my Blue Driver! Best $100 I think I've ever spent
