[QUOTE="Raeverd, post: 435378, member: 20394"] Latest update. Jeep starts up after waiting a minute or so after dying. However, it does not die if I go in reverse and has now started to die as soon as I try to drive forward. It also is making a whining noise when I turn my steering wheel which I suspect is the power steering and when I let go it almost dies. I checked the power steering fluid and it’s full but was hot and had a lot of little bubbles on the top. After letting it sit with the battery cable off, I started it and let it idle for about 5 minutes and it just seemed a little too hot under the hood for only idling for a few minutes. I have checked and my oil is good and my reservoir tank is at the full mark. I’m not quite sure what temp it’s running at cause my gauge hasn’t worked for the last couple of years. I’ve checked my relays and they all are working. I read on here somewhere to check fuse #5 cause it is for the fuel pump and auto shutdown relays and it was good. Tomorrow I will do what Flyer58 suggested with the fuel line at the fuel rail. Along with cleaning the relays and connectors. Thanks for all the advice so far. [/QUOTE]
