you can check ur crank position sensor with a multi meter at the plug end located next to ur throttle body. get a chiltons or haynes book for ur jeep and it will tell u what the correct ohms should be. if the sensor does not read in the correct range its probably the problem. also check ur fuse box under the hood my 98 se had a similar problem and was just a loose wire goin into the fuse block to a relay
