I've had a ground problem with my fuel pump but it did affect the gas
gauge, the gas gauge pegs to full when the fuel pump cuts out. I think
the check engine light acted as usual. You stated your gas gauge
activated so it could be another issue/ground
There is a fuel pump ground that's by the e-brake mounting brackets
on most YJs.


I havn't found the bad ground yet as my YJ has no grounds on the e
brake mounting cable.

Does sound like a bad ground, or possibly just bad battery connect. IF
it truly runs after starting, the alternator would appear to be able to
pump enough juice to keep voltage up even with a bad ground or cabling

Thanks for that idea, I hadn't thought about that possibility. I'm
still thinking bad ground because the starter works well so maybe it
is just the ground to the computer that is bad. I'll try cleaning all
ground straps and connections and get a new battery since it may be
getting old (was in jeep when I bought it about 1.5 years ago).
