Default Cherokee run rough after 10 minutes - wait 5 and then runs good again.

My wife drive to work in our 95 Jeep Cherokee (4.0 lt) in the morning to work and after about 10 minutes it start to run rough and shuts off. She restarts and sits for about 5 minutes with a high idle and then runs OK. On the drive home, no problems. Of course when I take it out for a test drive, nothing wrong happens. I am getting a lot of grief on this. I redid plugs, wires, cap and rotor that were in bad shape. I keep thinking it the ethanol gas might be the problem with cool nights having water condense in the tank. Help appreciated.

Check fuel pressure when it dies.

It could also be the coil on its way out.
