I have a 2001 jeep grand cherokee and it giving me four code p1391 p0351 p0352 p0353 i will like to know the problem please

For some reason you question has been duplicated several times, so I will answer this one.
Code 1391 may be a problem with the ABS system, the other three codes are concerning the first 3 coils. Your engine has direct spark so each cylinder has its own coil.
I would clear the codes and see which ones come back after a test drive. If the three coil codes come back the coils would need to be tested.

Codes p0351, p0352, p0353 and p1391. jeep won't start or runs poorly

The codes you mention 301-302-303 are all misfire in the respective cylinders. you should replace the coil, while you are at it also verify the condition od the sparkplugs.

I have a 1996 dodge caravan and the trany blue so

The van has several issues... I may not cover all of them here:

1. The rpm tac wire is not seated properly at the tranny.
2. The "ground" is not making a good connection; maybe the ground strap was removed and not replaced. Purchase a "ground strap" ($12) at an auto parts store (AutoZone?) and connect it from the engine to a convenient location on the chassis .

That should clear the rpm and the ****.

Comments anyone??
