Factory alarm???

Fuel pump has just enough pressure to prime the line and then snuffs out.

If it's the fuel pump the cheapest one I found was Ebay $56
Then Autozone $109
(I used one off a donor truck)

It is in the Cherokee Chat section. Those were carbed Cherokees and I for one know very little about them.

Choke stuck? Will it run if you give it a little gas?

I thought the V6's we're carbed, not injected?

If it's injected, then swap "choke" with "idle control valve"
