Default Will not start!

Recently changed out my bumper. Had to take off my air vacuum chamber and then bolt it back on. My 96 Cherokee classic started once but will not start again. It acts like it is not getting gas. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated!

Did you disconnect the battery? Re-check the connections of the battery.

We have done that. I think it may be the fuel cut off.

You can "rent" a free gauge to test the fuel pressure at the rail. Post that result. Check for spark by grounding a plug on the block while having an assistant crank the engine. Post that result. I'm guessing that you are missing one.

can u hear the fuel pump whine for 2-3secs after ignition is switched to run?

if not check the fuel pump fuse and relay

if you can hear the pump, try turning key on & off a few times, then try to start (if it then starts the fuel pump is on its way out)
