Default 93 cherokee dieing

Hi all, I have a 93 cherokee that has been stalling when driving. First it will lose some power then it might back fire through the exhaust and the tach will be all over the place then it usually dies after that. Sometimes I can press the gas pedal and keep it going but only a short time. I have checked the codes and only have a 12 because I replaced the battery. In an attempt to fix the problem I have replaced the rotor button, distibutor cap, coil and coil wire, none of this has helped. Once after the Jeep died and I started it back up ( it usually starts up easily but as of late it is taking much longer to get it running ) I got on the gas very hard and it ran for about an hour until I parked it. Any ideas?

Sounds like the crank position sensor starting to fail

I know you can use a multi-meter to check it and I have one but I don't know what setting to use or where to put the leads

Thats what I've been seeing, that most people buy from a jeep dealer rather than an auto parts house
