In Aug. 2001, I put a 258 reman in my '89 Wrangler. I installed a new fuel pump (direct-replacement mechanical) at that time.
About 15-18 or so months later, it failed. It appears to have failed, again, today. My wife had it at work, 30 miles from home, and she drove it about
50' before it quit.A couple of the guys she works with messed with it, and they said there wasn't any gas being pumped into the carb when they tried to start it. When they poured a little gas into the carb, it would run a couple of seconds, then quit. They did it several times, same result. I know there is gas in it. It only has about 70 miles since I last refilled it.
My questions- just bad luck on my part, or could there be a problem that is causing it to fail?
Second question- how difficult is it to switch over to an electric pump, and what is involved?
Thanks, Larry
