Several months ago I was driving and my Jeep just quit running. It acted like it was not getting any fuel so we changed the fuel filter, it started right up and run for about a mile. We then put a coil and new distriubuter cap on it but it still would not start. Now we have put a new computer on it but still will not start. Any idea where to go from here?

Ok, we did get it to start but once it run for about 2 minutes it stopped and then we could not get it to fire. We put a spark plug gage on it and after it quit running we could not get any spark. I am thinking the spark plugs, plug wires or rotor bug.
