Check engine light came on while driving. Everything seemed fine, ran fine, gauges good, but when I turned the engine off I could not get it to start again. It cranks over and seems like it wants to catch at first but then just continues to turn. Its a 98 4.0. CPS is 14mos old, checked fuel pressure at the rail and is good. I could really use some help, just got it out of the shop for a big brake job and dont have cash for another mechanic trip.

Agreed. The strategy for a vehicle with a check engine light is always the same read the code.
For a 98, you will need either a code reader or a scan tool. The key and odometer trick won't work with a 98.
Post the code(s) here for comment and we'll try to help.....
Don't throw parts at this on a hunch. That is terribly inefficient and gets expensive in a hurry. The code will likely lead you to the faulty circuit/system.
