Disconnect fuel line from filter first see if fuel comes out before filter. Then from rail, torn on pump see if fuel comes out. Had same problem w buick. Fuel pump came on, no fuel at rail. Comp went out - but it also had no spark cuts it all runs threw comp.

He has a 2000 XJ - they moved the fuel filter in to the tank in '95 or '96. In fact the fuel pressure regulator, check valve, pump, sending unit, and filter are one combined module of fun and excitement

You so when our newer jeeps have fuel system issue it's dropping the tank and spending hundreds on OEM parts.

Also heard that aftermarket units will turn the gas light on later and you wont have that 1 gal emergency left at the bottom. Heard Chevys have this issue ny sure of its the same on our xjs

Thanks. I tried the leads both ways. No change. My guess is the tcu or ecm due to the fact that those are related to the tps. but i don't know how to troubleshoot it.

Not completely if it isn't rusted that much. Check out this picture:


The cable jacket has a plastic grommet that snaps into the backing plate. In this pic there's a braided guard around the cable in the brake assembly. The little crimped on nub fits into a bracket down there

Naaasty. If you end up replacing anything avoid AirTex pumps. High rate of failure in the XJ

Hello fellow jeepers, Got a question for you all. I am trying to replace the clutch packs in my 29 spline Chrysler 8.25. I can not figure out how to get the actual packs out of the carrier. Has anybody done this? any advice?

So let's just say I hate doing distributors but don't take any work to a shop.that being said I have to replace the ho distributor they left in the ho block when they did the swap to my 88mj with a renix one. Any tips our tricks on what not to do. Since these are non adjustable I'd like to do it right the first time
