Default Jeep not starting

HI All, I have a 1997 Jeep Grand cherokee and did a alot of replacing on parts that should be replaced i.e starter, alternator and etc. Anyways, My jeep has 201k and it's been running great in the past. One day, The jeep just won't start. When you turn the key ignition - nothing. I decided to to give it a jump start and finally started; however, when I give some acceleration, the engine dies after the acceleration goes down. After sereral restarting and accelarating, the engine does not die anymore. During the restarting several times - I would occasionally get no power when I turn the key but sometimes it will start. Could this be a bad ignition assy ? This is one issue. Second issue, what would cause the engine to die after it comes down from accelaration ?

Like I mentioned alternator and starter is brand new (from dealer). Batter is around 2009.

Any info you guys can give me is greatly appreciated.
