I have a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it will crank but won't stay crunk. .... Try this if it cranks perfectly but wont start : Camshaft Position Sensor ...

it must crank fast or no car starts.
mine push starts and gravity starts.
does crank,,,
look at crank shaft of car (front pulley) is it spinning fast as person 2 cranks, yes, then it is cranking and must be fast and robust.
is it?

great symptom, we speak dead cranks.

1. do jumper cable to donor runnning car crank now?>
2. yes, bad or just discharged battery (and causes more)
3. no, then hot wire the starter solenoid.
4. cranks no ? then the starter is bad (bad cables)
   cranks yes, then the key line is dead.

if key line is dead, wiggle shifter, cranking, or try neutral,
neutral cranks work because the contacts are virgin there.
see?
i guessed A/T tranny so if im wrong, do SAY !

this is a NO CRANK issues, cars dont (A/T) dont start unless they crank.
try jumper start, off another car, (good cranking NOW means battery weak)
cable jump.
work now?
charge your cars battery>?
wiggle the shifter while cranking, does it starter wake up? bingo.
or shift to Neutral, (trick2) Does it crank now? BINGO 2.

another what?
NO CRANK or NO START
no car starts unless cranked fast. or pushstarted (stick) or jumper cable cranked.)
if it dont crank
1: check all fuses.
2: try jumper cable start, does it crank now (stater makes noise and engine crank shaft spins(eyes see that)

If your check engine light is on get it scanned. If not pull the camshaft sensor and make sure the magnet is still in place on the cam shaft. You might need to crank it once or twice to turn the camshaft.

Have your alternator tested. tune up afterwards would not be a bad idea

Check the crank sensor and make sure the battery is charged.

I am not sure where the crank position sensor is on your car but when the alternator belt broke on my Buick it trashed the crank sensor that is located next to the crank shaft pulley. The computer needs the crank senor to know the position of the crank shaft. If the sensor is bad the car will not start.
