Hello and welcome to JustAnswer! I am sorry to hear you are having problems with your vehicle. You will be automatically offered a phone call by the website, which I am not personally able to complete. A phone call is not necessary or required and you can ignore the offer if you wish. How have you determined fuel is good?

I just got a tone up two weeks ago and my file tank is half full
Automotive Expert
Having fuel in the tank doesn't mean fuel supply to the engine is present. You need to verify fuel pressure with a gauge. Have you checked for fault codes?

I got it to start thanks
Automotive Expert
Have you checked for fault codes?

Nope but it's started
Automotive Expert
The first step in diagnosing the problem will be to check for fault codes. If no related codes have set then there is a good chance you have a bad [fuel pump](/topics-fuel-pump-jeep/) relay, which there is a recall for but parts are not yet available.

Okay thanks on my way to repair shop now
Automotive Expert
You're welcome!
