****Jeep Just Died while driving!!! HELP!!!!!
Hi, i have a 99 cherokee classic, i recently just did a basic tune up on it and then it didnt run right at idle, so i replaced the Idle air control motor/valve, and then the throttle position sensor. it ran great for a few days and then one day it shut off while driving, so i stopped and started her up again, i got about a half mile down the road and it shut off randomly again!! but this time no start at all, just cranks over and over again... Please help!!!! Thanks in advance!!

Engine: Check
Don't just start throwing parts at it without doing any real diagnosis. That's a really good way to run yourself broke.
Check for spark. Check for good fuel pressure. Go from there.

An inexpensive voltmeter is a good investment.
You can check the voltage on the CPS plug near the rear of the engine.
My 97 showed no voltage so I replaced it this week. Still no start.
I replaced my coil, no start.
Checked all the fuses....

extension with a 11mm socket to take the CPS off.
On the install, I did it from the top. There is enough room between the
intake, and the brake booster to reach the area where the CPS goes.
I oiled the two bolts first, hand tightened, and then used a short 7/16 wrench to tighten the two bolts....

I do not have a photo. From under your Jeep, driver side, look at the bell housing upper left corner, there are two bolts. My 97 had 11mm bolts, but I installed my new CPS with a short 7/16 wrench from the top of the engine. With a voltmeter, my old CPS tested bad. My 97 still not starting, coil not firing....
