Hey all,
So I'm traveling from Tennessee back down to Savannah. On the interstate, my 96 Cherokee starts losing power and stumbling every once in a while. A couple of times I thought it was going to completely shut down. I replaced the fuel pump before starting this trip a week ago due to the same issue.
I have my handy fuel pressure gauge with me and when I stopped at a fast station just now I hooked it up. My fuel pressure was dropping off to Zero almost immediately after turning the key off. I did that maybe 2 or 3 tomes with the same result. I drove down the street to another store about 100 yards away and checked it again. This time it bled down to about 20 psi within a minute. I didn't let it sit any longer but I'd be willing to bet it would've went to zero within another minute.
Having said that, I now have two questions:
1. Is this my fuel pressure regulator?
2. Is this the cause of my Jeep cutting out or is there more than likely another issue?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
