Check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it. Turn key on with gas cap off and see if you can hear pump running you should if not it may be electrical problem so check fuse and relay under hood.

Thank you for your advice and information about the jeep but we figured out what the problem was we had to replace the fuel pump inside the tank because it was not getting enough pressure to the fuel rails but since we tell replaced it the jeep had be running perfectly and thank you again
