Turning over is when the engine turns when the key is turned. You will not see spark in an engine that's not turning. If not turning, check battery, relay and starting system. Once it turns, do testing with volt/ohm meter as outlined in most inexpensive manuals to find why it's not starting. Common problem is crank position sensor, but without proper testing it can be caused by nearly anything in the system. No decent tech will replace anything without testing it first. You should not either.No testing can be done with any accuracy unless the battery is fully charged.

Jeep starts once it warms up it will die out but will start up again it might take all day before it does again

the 4.0L I-6 inline 6, over 5 million made. (owned 3 for 500k miles)
it can only be 3 things, bad engine,bad spark, bad fueling.
(and others, EGR stuck etc)
but you never stated the GOOD,just bad.
does IT Have full power up hills , if it does start.? hot or cold power?
a key fact,
and key fact 2? can you save the stall, with a fast right foot.?????
stalls 101:
  1. never ever tuned up in decade. (most owners !)
  2. stalls for bad spark ,see #1
  3. stalls for lack of fuel, see #1 and new fuel filter.
  4. EGR stuck open engine will stall. (some 4Ll have no EGR)
  5. Lost fueling,
  6. Flooding

there are simple tests to find it, my guessing is fruitless waste.

ALL day no starts.
cranks robustly does it (guess yes)
(lost spark, test for lost spark x6 (and at coil)
lost fueling, Spark trips dry test.
flooding, spark tips dripping in raw fuel, test.

so ever get a tune up,or just driving it till it drops dead, like most do.

2003 crown victoria cranks wont start, was running fine, just cut out.never started again

As with any no-start situation, you need to know if you have spark to the plugs, fuel to the injectors, and normal compression to proceed.

2005 ford focus will turn over but wont start, it started missing, then it got loud now it wont start at all

As with any no-start situation, someone will need to figure out if you are lacking fuel to the injectors or spark to the plugs.
You may also have a failed timing belt and no engine compression.

How to fix a1998 buick century to start fuel filter new and airfilter turning over but not starting gets gas

Did you check for spark? It sounds like you're not getting spark. Check for spark. If you are not getting spark then it sounds like you might have to replace the coil packs. Is it running a L4 engine? If its running a standard chevy L4 its probably the coil packs. Try to replace them check again for spark.

My jeep was sitting for 2 months when i started it ran well ibacked it out of it spot and pulled into the garage after a few minutes it stalled started it again and it stalled again and wont start

The first two things you need to do is check for gas and check for spark. Make sure that fuel is getting to the engine by checking the fuel pump, checking the fuel filter, the gas lines, and the injectors. If you engine is getting gas, then you need to make sure you are getting spark. Check the spark plugs/coils, wires, distributor, dist. cap, roter, cam sensor, crank sensor, timing belt. Anyone of these can be bad and cause your car to not start. Your best bet is trying to get a code from your computer. If you can't, just start checking them one by one.

Car cut off while i was driving.... It started back up and i got about a mile and it cut off again... Havent been able to start it again.... Well once with a jump but it wouldnt stay started. Feels like it...

That is going to be an ignition coil. That is what produces spark. But it could be the knock sensor or the cam sensor also. If they do not give the coil the signal to fire, then the coil will not spark.

I have a 1997 jeep grand cherokee with automatic and 4.0 six cyl engine--it drives great for a day or two then stalls out seemingly for no reason--now tonight it has no spark from the coil--so I feel it is...

Unlikely that it's a computer. Check your coil and the grounds, make sure you don't have any breaks in the wires that could cause an intermittent problem.
