Default Please help 99 limited starts then dies

I have a 99 jeep grand Cherokee limited, it started fine then after driving for 5 miles it lost power but all the lights, windows, radio stayed on. Turned it off turned it back on and it started fine but sputtered out and dies after 3 seconds every time. It has no problem starting but won't stay on even with my foot on the gas, the fuel pump is buzzing in the on position, it has a new battery, starter, fuel filter, All fluids are good, reset the factory alarm and still just starts and dies. It's a 4.7 129,000 miles.

Sounds like you may have a fuel pressure problem. If there isn't enough pressure and the filter is new, chances are it's the pump.
