Maybe I should ask what fuel pump brand not to buy! Anyway, looking for feedback on best and wirst brands, or even part numbers (if their is a best and worst duty model in the same brand). I have an 87 XJ, Wagoneer ltd, 4x4, 4.0 L.
I had a no fuel no start problem today. Tried everything in the book, relay swaps,......, nothing helped, finally I wiggled the wires up top of the gas tank, no but no obvious sign of any problems. Tried one last desperate attempt to start it and the fuel pump kicked on loud and clear in run, before I even cranked it over. :rof: Wiggling the wires and smaking the gas tank with my hand, fixed it for now. Ya, I know, you just need to know where to smack it right? :banghead:
Made the 35 mile trip back home. Shut it off, restarted it no problem, but I just don't trust it now. :eyes:
The question now is do I need a fuel pump or do I have a loose connection or loose ground on the fuel pump. If I replace the pump what pump should I use?
Oh, and do fuel pumps come and go like this on their last gasp of life? Don't the DC motors use carbon brushes that wear out?????? and thus can act up like this the last few times they are turned on?
Thanks.
