I have read everything I can find on line about these problems, so to make a long story short, I have replaced PCM,CPS,TPS,Fuel Pump,fuel filter,ignition coil,disteributor,rotor,cap,wires,plugs,battery,ba ttery cables,took the MAP off and cleaned it reinstalled. Unrealated, I replaced the valve cover gasket. Air filter is new I installed a fuel presure guage on the rail (a copy cat move from a forum paste). My pressure reads 31lbs constant before during and after the problem occurs. Problem...It will not stay running. It will die just like some one shut off the key,at any RPM in gear or not, going down the road or sitting in the driveway. After further reading I am looking now at the possibility of KNOCK SENSER, IAC, or re..replacing the cps. Anyone have any other ideas?
I was having a simmilar issue myself and eventually sorted out the problem a couple days ago. I am not saying that it might be the same issue with you but mines was the wiring to my oxygen sensor and i haven't seen you mention checking it in your post. however with the assistance of Cruiser54 and others i was able to resolve my issue.

The following instructon sheet i what i followed and it helped solve my problem.

Could be crossed wires or melted wires you should check your head light switch wires

no that sounds about right - maybe a little high. Spec is no less than 13psi at HOT idle, 37-75psi above 1600 rpm. Oil pressure should (and will) decrease as the engine oil warms up to operating temp - "HOT" idle in this case means engine oil fully warmed up (15-20 minutes of driving).

Mine is around 75 when cold, 40-60 when driving, and 20 at hot idle. From my experience this is the normal ranges

I'm not entirely familiar with '94 Cherokees but, since the headlamp switch is a multi-function switch (which also controls dash lights), then you might want to replace it.

Try replacing your headlight switch.

Alright. I was hoping it was just the sending unit but I didn't know if the little markers just crap out or what. Thanks.
