Jeep runs for 10-15 mins. Then cuts off. No fuel, if I let it sit 2-3 hours it will start and do the same thing.I changed the fuel filter

Use a gage and check fuel pressure. Around 49 psi. After turned off, the pressure shouldn't drop below 24 psi for at least 5 minutes.

Can you check for any applicable mil codes? Some of the national brand autostores used to loan out a fuel pressure gage, if you don't have one. It may not be a fuel issue, but, you got to start somewhere.
