Default I need help asap!!!

So I have a 1998 jeep cherokee. I was on my way home today and it died. It felt like it was a lack of fuel. I started it and kept my foot on the petal till I got home. It will start now and run for about a min and then it'll die. I have started it and kept the idle high in the 2000's and it wouldn't die. Any help?!?!

Is there any way to do that without a fuel pressure gauge?

Check your map sensor tube. Check/clean you IAC, check fuel pressure.

How long since cap/rotor/plugs/wires replaced?
