The door sticker says August 1995, so it's an early 1996. It has OBD2, but an odd parts mix. The regulator looks like the one that other years have on the rail, but, from what I can tell, the rail regulator is lower pressure than the required 49 psi for my year. The Caravan regulator looks like...

I have a 96 4 cylinder with the regulator in the tank. Recently, the regulator decided to stop regulating. I replaced the assembly with a junkyard unit that seems to work, but, given that this is likely to fail, I'm trying to see if replacing just the regulator is possible. I have disassembled...

joe_peters, I just replaced the fuel pump, and I am now reading 50 psi at the rail. Went with the Bosch pump from rockauto. orange, good tip on the short hose, when I pulled the assembly that hose was in pretty sorry shape. It looked intact, but the exterior was starting to get sticky/goopy...

I replaced the fuel filter and the pressure came up a little bit to about 28-29psi, so it looks like that wasn't the problem. I went up and down the fuel line checking for leaks too. No wet look or smell of gas with it running. I drained both the oil and coolant to change the head and ran an...

I checked the fuel pressure at the rail with another gauge, and the reading was still 26psi. The only other symptom I have noticed is that the engine will stumble once or twice under heavy acceleration and then catch again and continue to run. Does this also point to a fuel pressure problem...

Got the fuel pressure gauge hooked up this afternoon, and the reading was 25-26psi while the engine was running. I have a feeling that I have a broken gauge (being from harbor freight and all). I will try to borrow a better one from an auto parts store and verify the reading. If the reading...

Thanks for the ideas on how to get started. My current theory is some leaky injectors based on: short term, not enough time to leak gas to make a difference; medium term, extra gas in warm engine causing flooding; cold start, needs extra gas anyway to start, so rich condition doesn't matter. Any...

96 with the 2.5L When cold, the jeep starts fine. It also starts and runs if shut off and then restarted in a short time frame (<5 minutes). Between these two, though, it will either just keep cranking or will catch, run briefly, and die. By way of background, in July, it overheated and...

To tell the truth, I didn't ask the shop why they claimed that. I had it brought in because the freeze plug in the back sprung a leak. The shop changed that out. After that, they called me and told me that it was a blown head gasket and wanted $1500 to fix it. I let it sit for a while because I...

My 96 2.5 came back from the shop with a diagnosis of blown head gasket. The oil did not seem like it was full of coolant, but I pulled the head this morning, and the gasket looked fine and there didn't seem to be any obvious cracks in the head. What I did find was these 4 small plugs in the...

Crank position sensor it is.

I checked the timing light with my brother's jeep, and it works. I have a crank position sensor in the mail, so I'll try that next.

I checked the crank position sensor and got the correct open circuit between terminals b and c. I can't run through the procedure for the cam sensor because I only have a digital meter. I need to wait until the weekend to have a running car to check the light against, but the test light hookup...

2.5L, Manual Transmission XJ wouldn't start after sitting overnight, and I've reached the point where I'm stumped. I tried pulling the air cleaner hose of the throttle body, still wouldn't start and didn't observe any obstructions. Today I put a timing light on the secondary wire front the...
