She mentioned earlier she could hear the pump prime. Although it could be a bad pump relay I suppose that works sometime and not others. But that wouldn't explain why she could hear the pump and it still didn't start. I am still curious for the response to if it turns over and if she has checked to see if it has spark.

Inverted Gurgitators are notorious for going out on the 4.0Ls... I've replaced a couple of them in my day and man they suck. I've never heard of the "unicorn" problem in XJs though. I thought it was only an issue with the toyota prius.
