Had a similar problem with my Caravan... it was the distributor- actually the pick-up in the distributor. Should cost about $60- $80 at an auto-wrecker.
My 01 Grand Cherokee had this problem. Sometimes you turn the key and it starts up just fine. Other times you have to turn the key several attempts before anything happens. Sometimes I have to get it jump-started. The extra power from a second battery will overpower the dead spot and it will start right up.
The only way i found to disarm the alarm was to use the back hatch lock. lock it and unlock it a few times with the key. if this doesnt work try the door locks
I have a 2001 i needed a new pcm, or some times u need to get your key recoded
I have a 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with a 4.0 litre six cylinder and 4x4 transmission. It has died on me several times while driving but was only a fuse on the passenger side under the hood. It was located in the section that says TRANS. When I replaced the fuse it started right up.
To reset the oil change required light: turn key on, engine off; press gas pedal to the floor three times; cycle key.
Check the crank sensor, i had the same problem with my 94 Grand Cherokee

No it is 5 on 4.5, or 5 on 114mm
Your 1996 Jeep grand Cherokee dash lights probably keep flashing and dimming because of a loose or corroded ground wire. The ground wire might be getting contact at times and at other times not getting contact.
start with fuel filter could be clogged, could be faulty fuel pump.
A Jeep Grand Cherokee that starts and dies might have a problem with the choke. Depending on how new the vehicle is, there might be a sensor for the choke that is not working properly.

The throttle plate in the throttle body may be stuck and needs to be freed up and/or lubricated
Turn the ignition on, engine off. Press the gas pedal to the floor three times in 10 seconds.
