95 Cherokee. Need Help! Stranded!!

I was driving up a small incline, my 1995 jeep cherokees gas pedal seemed to bog down 1 time and I lost power. I waited about 15 minutes, contstantly trying to start. It would try to turn over but never would. Finally, it started. I moved approx 1/4 mile and it happened again. This time I only waited about 5 minutes and it started. I made it about 2.5 miles down the mountain to a flat spot. I stopped and turned the jeep on and off about 7 times. Started right up. I proceeded to go up another hill and it happened again. I turned around and parked it not wanting to get stranded on the side of a mountain. Can anyone help me. Stuck in a very rural area with no mechanic for miles and miles. Thanks so much!

Sounds like your CPS is about to go out its not a hard fix but can be a pain, the part will cost you about $70.00 at autozone

I guess, first off, does the check engine light remain on?? That would start the ball rolling on diagnosing the problem.

It does sound like the Crankshaft Position Sensor to me also; had it ever cut out prior to this episode?

I also had a similar problem with our '96 Cherokee, but it turned out to be the camshaft position sensor. I also replaced the crankshaft position sensor, but that did not fix the problem. The code reader pointed me in a direction, but not an exact direction. Until I replaced the camshaft sensor did the light go out.
