You need to replace the crankshaft sensor, it's mounted behind the engine at the top of the bell housing on the drivers side. It is a pain to do, but a very common problem.

The crankshaft position sensor located @ 11:00 on the rim of the bell housing from the driver position. seems to be a very common problem on the Cherokee. They cost between $70 and $80. or $250 installed.

Crankshaft position sensor. Located at the front are of transmission. When the crank rotates it read off the location or position and knows "I need to fire on this stroke, but if the sensor don't pick it up, it has no idea and therefore will only turn over. Jeeps are bad about this one problem. Part is $50 +/- a few. and easy to put in.
there is also a cam sensor and throttle position sensor, any codes, fuel npump can test ok but jeeps are noted to have the fuel tank sock come off in the tank and the fuel pumps can have intermittent starting problems. I hope thiis helps

no signal. . tested all circuit. changed cam shaft positioning sensor
twice.still cranks did start once ran for 5 min. changed the sensor
again. no luck. help please. keith
If you did not replace the CRANK sensor on the back side of the motor this most likely is the problem and a very common one at that.this controls spark and injector pulse,unlike the cam sensor which just shows when #1 cilyder is up.
check the fusible link , ingition swith ,distributor asembly and srurk plug .for loose connection and the distributor asembly with the spurk plugs firing order.I thgink it should be 1,3,4,2.dont forget to check the ground .
Never changed a cps on a sprot....
