Many ignition coils (I don't know about the 93 Jeep) run the coil in two modes. During startup the coil runs at full voltage to help provide a slightly stronger spark and to make up for the fact that the starter is pulling the battery voltage down. After startup, many coils receive operating voltage through a resistor, effectively dropping the operating voltage of the coil, partially because many of the coils can't operate very long on full voltage that is provided by a normally operating alternator. Check the wiring diagram of your ignition. If it uses a coil, make sure the coil is in circuit and operating properly.
