Default Sputtered and died

1994 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 automatic. Been running fine except a few times over the last couple of months it would act like it wanted to die when I'd start it. If I reb it up it would go ahead and run fine. Been starting fine. Tonight I was driving about 25 mph in town and it sputtered and died - no warning. It cranks fine but will not fire/start. Got almost a full tank of gas. Since it's a 94 I checked the engine check light code process - key on and off three times and leave it on the third time. I get 5-5 which means it'a not showing a trouble code? Full pump? Something else? I don't have a clue. Any thoughts or suggestions, as always, greatly appreciated.

Two things to check first.
1. Crank Position Sensor.
2. Fuel Filter
Just for starters.

I changed the crank position sensor about a year ago and when it was acting up I got a code that says that was the problem and changing it fixed it. I'm not getting a trouble code now on anything. I've got a new fuel filter in the back that I've not installed yet. I'll try it but I've never had one shut down - plug up completely. There's always the first time.
Is there any of those big fuses in the engine box that would do this or something in the coil???? Just thinking outloud.
