Do you measure voltage at the ballast resistor? I assume the 1.6 is a resistance reading? Or is that the voltage you measured there?

Just so you no pump will only run for a few seconds to prime system then runs constant after starting .

The original symptom? Would it start, then die? Not start at all? How was the hose AT the fuel pump?

First it was running ok then i turned off jeep. When i restarted it only ran 30 seconds and died. Then only turned over not starting. Checked fuel rail no fuel. Then checked connection at pump power up 2 or 3 sec period. Then tow jeep home.

Sounds like fuel pump relay or ballast resistor.
