I have spent a lot of time searching for what the real issue could be, but havent really found anyone out there with my exact problem, or everyone else has an older jeep with a distributor. So the problem...about a week ago i shut my jeep off, got out for a minute and then started it back up again, it stumbled around like it was going to die, pressing on the gas didnt help the problem but it evened itself out after a minute and drove fine. No problems since. (figured it could have been a vapor issue) Got in to start my jeep this morning and it wouldnt start, turned over just fine, so i turned the key off and turned it back on again, started just fine. Happenned again at lunch. Im pretty sure its either between the fuel system (which i believe has the filter, pump and relay all in one unit in the gas tank) or my ignition system, which doesnt have a distributor. I put new spark plugs in it about 5,000 miles ago, so i know they are good but have never changed my distributor rail (or whatever they call it), or my fuel pump. Its a 2000 with 210,000 miles and also has the typical fuel gauge not working problem that i have lived with for awhile. Dont have a jeep dealership around that i trust, and would really like to take care of it myself. Any tips, suggestions, previous experience. I only have a craftsmen set of basic tools, no gauges or anything else to help diagnose. Thanks
Also i have never been able to hear my fuel pump turn on since it came from the dealership so checking that sound odd to me
