Hi
1989 XJ. I have replaced the fuel pump twice. The first New pump ran silently for about 2 wks, then started whining louder and louder to it was a rumbling roar. Replaced that one, with another new one, and within 1 day, it is whining again. Now when I say whining, I know that all electric pumps make a whining noise, but this is way and far beyond that. It will easily drown out the radio.
I seriously doubt that two new pumps are bad. I do notice that if I unplug the vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator it will get a little quiter, but not for long. I also have some elctrical problems. At the ignition switch, one of the wires (the big brown one) had been getting hot, pratically melting the plastic around it. But the fuel pump wiring is not hot.
I am almost ready to scrap this thing.
Any Ideas?:flamemad:
