Id confirm correct fuel pr3ssure seeing theres no codes being set to indicate cps issue .One other thing check for corrosion on coli wire at cap and coil.

I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4 door that has the same issue. It has good fuel pressure, but never put up to gage. It has spark and we even tried starting fluid. Not dice. It has good battery but won't be good soon LOL. But please, I need some suggestions.
