Pull the ECM but leave the wires attached. Start the vehicle and let it warm up. Tap the ECM several different places on the case with a plastic screwdriver handle. If it shuts off when you tap it, you found the problem without spending money for a diagnostic fee.
70duster, gave that a try, It shut off again on the way home from work. This time I thought I was going to be walking as it didn't want to re-start. After about 10 tries it finally started and got me the last mile home. Just took the computer away from the firewall and tapped like you said but it kept on running. Would the crank sensor cause this?

My 00 Cherokee cut out intermittently.
I put in a "rebuilt' ECM off ebay. Problem solved.
You can try your luck with other boneyard ecm's if you can find them cheap enough.
The only real advantage to buying a supposed rebuilt is that they reflash them with the highest level code and may have a warranty.

Tom Same thing happened to me with my 89 Grand Cherokee. Had to go for a new ECM. Got it from a auto part store in flushing and had the Mobil do the install and programing was a while ago though.
If you can't be smart.....don't be stupid!
