So I bought a non running jeep today, it cranks and cranks and cranks easily once in a while it'll crank real hard a couple times. It will start after a bit then it runs for a minute or two and just dies.dies real fast no spuddering or anything. Any ideas, I searched and
Searched the tech forums but idk

Btw it has new TPS coil bar and plugs!
 
fuel filter.
 
Ya has fuel and spark after it dies, doesn't stay running long enough to check it while running. Also after it dies it backfires a little sometimes when cranking it to try and restart it! So makes me think its getting fuel during the cranking
 
Cam sensor. Probably out of whack. They're somewhat adjustable- there's a write up somewhere here about using a toothpick to align something in the sensor.......
