camshaft sensor?
My father in-law gave me a his old 93 xj sport and it runs but only for so long then it either dies on it's own or when you turn it off it won't fire back up. But if you let it sit for a couple hrs or so it'll fire back up. I've check the cps and it's fine and i'm getting fuel I'm thinking its the camshaft sensor but I want to get a second opinion first.

??? it will have a dist pick-up coil, He will have to catch it not running and diagnose from there. check power to the coil and dist pulse, chances are (i agree with zach) its not likley to be the problem. prob intermittent cps

Was your question to me or to him?
Ok, either you have an intermittent CPS(common for them to do right before they fail completely) or a bad connection/connector. Did you by anychance pop the connector lose and make sure nothing in there is corroded? Corroded connections will cause all kinds of funky electrical issues

its also a new cps he put it on a couple months ago trying to fix the issue with no luck, not saying it couldn't be bad from the company, just realizing i hadn't explained that yet

Its either this
or you have a CPS on its way out. if all the connections are good then one of those two is bound to be your problem
yea that was the first thing i did was check all the connectors for corrosion or if they were lose.
