I have a 95 XJ country, almost stock. I'm in the process of doing a head gasket job. At 240000 km (around 144000 miles). It was over heating and i was losing coolant. I have a test port on the fuel rail, and when I depressed the valve to release the pressure, it had almost none. I was under the impression that the fuel rail was kept pressurized at 35psi (aprox.)
The jeep run great, but the gas/mileage just sucks. I get around 22 l./100km (10.6 MPG)in the city and 16l/100km (14.2 MPG) on highway. I drive it very carefuly and gently. It always started great and run very smooth at all speed and RPM. When I put the key to the on position I can hear the fuel pump purr for a second and a half, the the motor start within a half a turn everytime.
Could I have a small leak somewhere and not smell it??? Could the fuel pump overcome such a small leak and rebuild pressure in the fuel system within 1 1/2 second, giving me great start everytime. How can I test my fuel line for leaks.
Gas aint cheap these days in Canada. I love my XJ but my fuel consumption went up 22% in the last few month. It usualy went up in the cold canadian winter, but came back down when spring arrived, but not this year. If anyone has a clue, I'll welcome any advice.
Thanks!
