Crank positioning sensor?

Spell check is your friend.
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.

pull your codes first ryan.  throwing sensors at it will be expensive.  see what the code says first then go from there.  try the key three turn trick first. 
if it were you CPS it would crank then die right away.......

Fuel filter? Not enough flow.
Is it that kind of feeling?

I had a similar symptom. Turned out to be my starter. Something to consider.

Sounds like a lack of fuel, either a weak pump or clogged filter, my 97 jimmy had the same symptoms and a new pump/filter solved the trouble.

Did you move your fuel cell into the back of your rig?  I remember you posting something about that a while ago...
