Default Wont start ( no check engine light, no fuel pump)

1st post.

I'm having problems with my 95 jeep Cherokee country 4wd 4.0 liter. When I turn the key to start it I get Jo dummy light for check engine and don't hear my fuel pump turn on. Everything else will work with ignition on. Just won't turn due to lack of fuel.

I use to be able to let the key sit in the ignition on position and after 5 mins or so the check engine dummy light would turn on n I'd hear the fuel pump activate on. Then the truck would start n run. But not anymore.

Any help, please

I checked all fuses and all looks well. I was told maybe it's my PCM. Where is the icm in my jeep? Could that be the problem?

Give us some info, what is your fuel pressures numbers, after it primes at key on, and the 15 mins later with key off, and does it have spark, and how strong (color of spark)?
