Hey guys here the problem, when I go to start the Jeep it will run for two seconds and shut down. Pull the fuel line turn the key to run there is nothing I can here the fuel solenoid kicking on and off, crank the engine it pumps fuel. It will also run off of Ether if you give it a constant spray, let of off it quits in about a second to a second and a half. I just swapped the rad and the water pump and was getting ready to test drive, I didn't touch any thing in the electrical area.

Hey guys, I figured it out by looking at my wiring diagram (you would have thought I would have done that first). Found out that the starter relay gives out side power to the pump (by passes my fuel pump relay and ballast resistor) Had my roommate hit the key and I played with the ballast resistors connections, and I could here the pump kick on and off. Hopefully this problem and soluction will help some one.
