Default HELP!

I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee and for the past week in the morning it has been not wanting to start. This morning it wouldn't even crank and finally when it did, when I took my foot off the gas it died out. I attempted to start it again and it was hard starting and finally it started and stayed running. I had the Battery, Alternator and starter checked and they all passed! I cleaned the battery terminals as well. no check engine light, but when it does start everything has been reset like the battery was disconnected. Can someone PLEASE HELP ME.

I would clean and refresh all your ground points, not just the battery terminals.
