Way far from me.

Here is exactly what I've been getting. Is that white strainer what your talking about? It comes with that.

Edit: also I just checked the ohms of the ground at it was perfect. I'll still make it extra shiny though.

cruiser54

Yes. Check the ground wire on that unit.

Chick-N-Picker

Just did it. Edited results to last post.

Also check that internal wire for continuity Mr Electrical!!

Chick-N-Picker

Okay. I do have a continuity tester. Which wire should I touch it to.

I'm beginning to think there is no solution and I'm doomed.

cruiser54

The wire between the fuel pump and the flange. One probe at each end.

Chick-N-Picker

I don't know if my tester is broke but I'm not getting it to light up on anything. Even in my house. Maybe I'm doing it wrong although I've used it many times. I wonder what the odds are that it is the continuity.

The pump must be out to test this correct? Mines out but still plugged up. I will be checking for trash soon. I need to jack the back up first.

DFlintstone

Yea, darn. I'd hoped that maybe your problem was running without one.

No, No, Continuity testing IS Ohms testing, like you were already doing. Continuity means it's connected, juice can go through it. Zero ohms is perfect continuity.

I think he's wanting you to check from the terminals on the pump, from there to where they meet the "harness" wires.

cruiser54

No. From the pump to the flange is a ground wire with a female spade terminal on each end. Measure from one end to the other with the key off.

DFlintstone

Maybe tell them that Cruiser was service manager at a Jeep dealership for 12 years, and that Flintsrone thinks a shop will serew you.

Chick-N-Picker

I thought that was the wire you meant just wrong idea.

Anyway just checked it with key off and it had .01 ohms which is good.

Chick-N-Picker

Don't worry my man I told them that and said if he can't help me then ain't no random shop going to.
I also told them that a shop wouldn't probably find anything but tell me it just needed another fuel pump assembly then in 3 weeks I'd be right back where I was and out of big money. That is if I had the big money too spend haha.

Connectors good and tight?

Chick-N-Picker

Yes. They are good and tight and have no corrosion that I can see.

I will be checking in the tank for trash tomorrow when I get the back a little higher. After that I will have done everything that has been suggested.

Also I thought about what the previous owner told it did to him. He said he drove it and it started going out then he took it home.
He would crank it up and move around his drive way and it would die. He'd park back in shed. Then it got to the point it wouldn't start at all.

This is what it's basically doing to me except I never make it to the point that it won't start because I keep changing the pump. But it's definitely cutting off on me in on the roas after it starts humming and going out. Almost got me killed in early June.

I said all that to say that whatever is burning up the airtex pumps is the same thing that burned up the stock pump. So it's probably not going to do me any good to burn up a Bosch.

It has to be something simple because the jeep runs too good for 2-4 weeks. Then it hums for a week. Then it hums and starts cutting off.
