Won't start after driving

[gorbet27]

I understand how the fuel pressure system works with the check valve and how you will get long starts if that pressure starts bleeding off more than it should. I was mainly asking William why he’s pushing Jerry’s advice when I don’t see how it is relevant to this scenario. I’m thinking Jerry mistakenly interpreted this post when he said that because he usually wouldn’t recommend that for this. Usually the fuel pump check valve is only considered when you get long choky starts that are cured by priming a few times with the key. That same problem won’t be any better 2 hours later than it would be the minute you shut the rig off from driving and try to restart so I don’t see how it’s relevant. That is all I’m getting at.

I am enjoying this conversation. I have a 2001 Jeep TJ doing the same thing so I'm reading everything. The only thing I have seen that may explain why bleed of can cause a problem immediately but not later was bleeding off through a fuel injector and flooding out a cylinder. I don't know that's just what I read.

Just to give everyone a update it ended up being the pickup coil. It was rusted over don't ask me how it got that rusty inside the distributor but it did. I really supervise all your help and suggestions. Thanks

Thanks for following up with the answer
