Car engine stalling...

Got it checked and the alternator was okay. The other day it stalled on me and when i tried a few times to start it back up it just kept turning over. I tried about 10 minutes after that and it started up. The guys at the shop think it is the fuel pump, and on my car the whole pump/filter/etc is actually in the tank so its gonna be about 400 to fix.

Yep, I have a Jeep also. 99 Cherokee....130k miles and this is the first major problem so im not complaining.

yeah mine is a JGC with 220K miles.
I don't consider the fuel pump a major mechanical failure though. that's minor stuff really.
I raplaced the starter and water pump not too long ago as well, also minor repairs.
the engine hasn't had any of what I'd consider major mechanical failures though.. no timing belt problems, leaking heads, etc.. it still runs very strong, with the original 5sp trans. who says USDM vehicles don't last? lol
