Most run at 200-210 degrees so the temp you stated is fairly normal....Vapor lock generally is associated with mechanical pumps that put out 5-8lbs of pressure...the electric pump in your car puts out over 40 when needed and unless you're running in the desert, it's doubtful that it's locking.You need to do some testing to determine exactly what pressures you have at the fuel rail, if you are getting good spark etc. in order to determine what's going on there. Don't work blind...get a manual like chiltons or haynes that can give you specifications and test procedures...It's cheaper in the long run than just throwing parts at it 'till the problem goes away!!! If the engine is balky or slow turning the problem may not be fuel or ignition but may turn out ot be a worn out starter...That's why testing is so important!!! If you have any questions about any specific tests, don't hesitate to ask. Good Luck!!!!

My 1995 jeep will die just driving and sometimes will start right back up other times you have to wait about an hour. fuel pump is working fine you can hear it

The pump can be running but not pumping any fuel.
When it stops running you will need to figure out if you are loosing spark to the plugs or fuel to the injectors.

Vehicle won't restart after driving for a while

You said it's runs fine, but it just won't start after driving a while. If thermostat or temp sensor was bad you'd be overheating. It sounds like a vapor lock. Good luck

My Jeep Cherokee 95 Radiator temperature is always hot

100 degrees f? That is way too cold Either you have the wrong thermostat or it is wide open. 180 degrees is nominal and give you the best performance.. With AC on, expect 190 to 200 degrees. We are talking farhrnheit and not ccelsius, correct?
