1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. While driving, I can feel hesitation in the gas peddle. Starving for fuel. I put on the brake at a stop light and the vehicle dies. Next either it will start immediately or have trouble starting it again. At least trying to restart 4 or 5 times. I have replaced the crank sensor above the transmission. Sometimes just while having the jeep idling it will just shut down.

You should add a rs4 performance chip or the fuel economy chip also made by rs4. there like 70 bucks. If the problem is electrical changing your chip could solve the problem. Even if is doesnt work the chip will make your truck idle more smoothly, have better throttle response, and you will add 3-7 mpg. I bought one for my 1997 jeep grand cherokee straight six, and it felt like i was driving a different truck . It mae that much of a difference...you cant loose!!!Like everyone says , it could be a vac leak or a clogged fuel filter , soetimes bad gas...your problem is a needle in haystack. Try the chip...I hope this helps

You didn't mention which engine you have but on an inline six, a failed fuel pressure regulator caused this symptom on ours.
It is at the front end of the fuel rail and cost ~$40 to procure.
