I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 straight 6 cylinder and it will shut down when it wants to and will start right back up. when it shuts down its like its running out of gas.

It shut down but starts right back up. Its like it runs out of gas but it has plenty of gas

Start by checking the fuel pressure with a gauge to rule out a failing fuel pump
