1995 Jepp cherokee 4.0L 4x4 won't start

Jan 11, 2009 4:11AM PST

First things first, this vehicle has been great to me until about 6 months ago, when it started running rough.

Basically the vehicle started dying randomly, so i changed all that, and it still continues to die, only when it warms up though.

Also even after I have changed the ignition, turning the key to the start position doesn't make the starter fire. When I jump the starter it does start though, and runs for about 7-8 minutes before dying again.

I have changed:
Throttle position sensor, Crank position sensor, distributor pickup/cam sensor, distributor cap, rotor, wires, plugs, ignition, starter, fuel filter 3 months ago, new optima yellow top battery.

I have also regreased/cleaned the Nuetral safety switch, and sprayed out the throttlebody.

The fuel pressure sits at a solid 35psi running, and 40psi starting.

Any ideas? I love this little wanna-be truck, but if this keeps up I'm going to have to try to sell it for way less than it is worth.

Thanks,I
