I have a 2000 4.0. Here is my scenario. I'm a mail carrier and drive approximately 85 miles on the route. 14 mikes each way to and from work. After I drive to work. The vehicle sits around two hours until I'm ready to head out on the route. No problem cranking then. My problem comes after I've driven the 84 miles and get back to the office. Cut the vehicle off and come back approximately 10 minutes later and if I can actually get it to crank then it idles very rough. Sometime I can rev the motor and if I can get the revs high enough it will start idling like normal and can actually drive it. Otherwise it dies out and there is no hope of actually getting it to crank for a good 20 more minutes. I can then drive about 10 miles towards home and stop and get gas which only lasts a few minutes and the vehicle cranks right back up. As long as I don't ever cut the vechile off during the 85 mile route it never has a problem with the idle or running properly. Could this be a fuel pump issue or something else all together? Thanks for any help!
