I don't know enough about cam position sensors to answer your question; somebody else will have to chime in.
Concerning the fuel pump: when you turn the ignition key to "on" you should hear the pump whine as it builds pressure in the fuel lines (you may need to keep an ear out of the Jeep to hear this, or have somebody else near the fuel tank to listen). If you turn the key to "on" and don't hear the whine, you may have a bad pump. Even so, try starting the engine; it could be a very quiet fuel pump. If the engine starts and you didn't hear the pump turn on, I'd say look elsewhere for the cause of your troubles for the moment.

I checked the cap and rotor. Points had some build-up on them, but I cleaned them off and they look like new now. It's possible for corrosion on the CamPS sensor, as the wire has a little play in it. But from what I've read, a CamPS sensor failing would allow the car to run until it was shut off.
Fuel pump is good. I hear the whine each time I turn the key on. As well as hearing all the relays click under the hood.
All the posts I can find on GC stalling issues all seem to point to the
CPS. I think I'm going to go ahead and replace it since it seems to be a common starting point.
But thanks for the response. :)
