The jeep runs great but after it you drive it a lilttle while and shut it off and try to start it right away it want start just truns over. After you wait about 20 mins it starts just fine.

Hi camobigred, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Next time is refuses to start do below immediatley don't wait for nothing to catch it if its fuel or spark problem, sonething has to give between the two

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
