Thanks gat and Red! And jordan you don't have to apologize for the book...haha it was a good read! Alas I am nervous yesterday was somehow truly accidental. I want to go outside and turn the key but I just keep sipping coffee.
I would love to take her to work today but I don't want to jump any guns.

And jordan also what you said made me think...at this point the jeep would not start at all...cold warm whatever. When you(well me) first attach the fuel gauge some fuel leaks out the rail...maybe some air did too. Then the jeep started no problem.
But I did tighten the scrader valve and trust me I am still quite skeptical. But I will have to turn the key soon...just in case yesterday was imaginary. I will post my key turning results soon.

Ok so I turned the key,,,and she started right up. Then I turned her off, and she started right up again. Then I let the engine warm up, then turned her off...and 5 -8 seconds later I turned the key and she started up again. She has not done that in months....
So yesterday was not a dream...got that out of the way. I have to get ready for work now but those are the results. I might be able to test her again this evening...and then possibly take her to work tomorrow. I dunno.
I am a bit confounded/...

Well She started right up again when I got home from work. Ran a few tests..seems legit. I am gonna take her to work tomorrow. Half my tools and test equipment are still in the back anyway. Wish me luck!

Well she ran like she used to all day today. Started right up and now she is running good. Back to the other 99 problems I was working on. Still very surprised. It seems the tightening of the valve on the fuel rail did the trick. I am not gonna post anymore in this thread unless someone has a question or suggestion. I will be taking her to work this week. So I may start a new thread...to address previous wounds. Thank you everyone for all your help and advice!
