I would look at three things: 1) fuel pump relay and 2)fuel pump regulator. It may have an electronic regulator that 'chops' the power to the pump to regulate pressure.
Third, there may be a sensor in the fuel line that reports pressure to the computer which it uses to regulate pressure. Apparently the pump is good, unless it is overdrawing current due to wear or bad brushes.

SOURCE: 1995 jeep grand cherokee wont start

it most definately is the crank shaft sensor. same exact prob i had. it costs about 60 bucks and 3 minutes to replace yourself. one bolt holds it into the transmission bell housing and one connector wire. very simple fix. call off the wrecker. just have plenty of ratchet extensions available i had to go in from behind the transfer case to reach the bolt but it was still pretty simple to install.

OK...I have a 93 outside...one diagram I have shows an ignition module next to coil...but there is none on mine, (4.0 engine)
Two items to check are crank sensor and cam sensor inside distributor. Test procedure can be found in just about any manual including haynes.
You will need a decent volt/ohm meter to do testing. You can also check codes by turning ignition switch on/off three times, leaving it on the third time. Check engine will flash code #'s (ex: one flash, pause two flashes= the number twelve.then followed by a longer pause then another set of flashes etc.)

We have a 1995 jeep grand cherokee limited 4 wheel drive. how do you know when the fuel pump is going bad?

you will notice that your vehicle acts like it is starving for fuel, and sometimes , the engine will even die, and then start back up, a lot of fuel pumps can be saved by people not driving their vehicles with a 1/4 or less amount of gas in the tank, because when the the tank gets very low, the fuel pump has to work harder to pump the gas, and even overheats when trying to pump the low amount of gas to the engine therefore resulting in the fuel pump going out.

Jeep wont start.

while someone is cranking over the engine listen under the rear of the truck at the gas tank for the fuel pump. is it buzzing ? if not try again while cranking with a Rubber Hammer tapping on the center of the gas tank, if it starts you will need a fuel pump.
good luck chris
