Ok , I have the same problem, I was told to replace the ignition module i just ordered it. also a friend of mine works at a dealership and he said this is very common on 97 sports, The computer goes out, cost 214.97 to replace i had the same problem and the a mechanic said it was the computer, but i still thought it was a crank sensor. i replaced the crank sensor first and the Jeep runs great. My 98 with the straight 6 did the same thing, and the mechanic at the dealership told me I needed a new computer without looking at it. A friend of mine with an computer reader plugged it in and found both a bad crank sensor and a bad O2 sensor (not in that order, however), replaced both (one at a time) and it runs like new now, even if it has 120k on it.
I was browsing for the same info and came across this article. http://www.asashop.org/autoinc/feb99/techtotech.htm I think is worth reading because I spent a lot of money/effort/hours on the problem that I had with my '95 Cherokee (which was almost the same you have). Good luck solving it

You could be out of gas or not getting fuel to the engine, or you could have an ignition problem. To check for spark to the spark plugs - remove one of the wires from one of the spark plugs, then put a large paperclip in the wire and hold it just above the engine where you can see the spark jump (I would hold the plug wire with a pair of rubber coated pliers), crank over the engine - if you do not get ny spark then you have an ignition problem. Check the ignition points under the distributor cap, they may need to be set to the proper gap.
