Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Not all brake clever is flammable look for the don't die this is flammable warnings on the side of your want it to be.
3m brake cleaner is the best I have come across for cleaning jobs and amazingly flammable we use it if we are out of ether at the shop during cold weather spurts when trucks are gelled
and windshield wiper fluid is great for water meth injection systems

You sir, are a specialist in the art of discovering a welcoming outcome of a particular situation....not a mechanic.
My feedback add 11-12 ish before the great servpocaylpse of 2012
I have never seen non flammable brake cleaner. News to me. And yes, 3M is the best.
Just use a small flat head, depress the Schrader valve in the fuel supply line, if nothing shoots out you likely have a dead pump. Obviously keep your face out of the way, Id use a shop towel to keep it from spraying everywhere, you'll know if there's pressure.

Ya that's also how I check my tire pressure. Just push in on the valve and if air comes out I'm good to go.
Fantastic tips I appreciate them.
I didn't touch the Jeep until this morning, went out and it fired right up. I didn't do anything in the mean time. We got it in the garage thursday night, never touched it friday and this morn it fired. I turned it on and off half the day, let it run for a long time, checked all the connections, cleaned some, drove it around the block, parked and it always fired right back up. Intermittant fuel pump, or crank sensor???
Kind of at a loss. We'll see if anything changes tomorrow and then I may give up and take it in to the shop. Diagnosing these issues is a pain.

I say still the fuel pump. It's a cheap fix . Do it before it dies somewhere else
A storm is coming ...
I'm not familiar with Jeeps but I've had several GM vehicles that had ignition modules that would quit working when they got hot. If you let the vehicle sit and cool off for a while it would fire right back up and act normal.
Might add that to your ever growing list of things to check.
He has never lost spark, so an ignition module is ruled out. Fuel pump relay maybe. I have seen fuel pumps be intermittent, but not for long. And they don't put out enough pressure or volume when testing them.
Oh. I must have missed that part. My bad.
