First and foremost, I would like to Thank everyone who took the time to help me troubleshoot and guide me in the right direction in fixing my Wagoneer. This group is a good thing and its members are good people. I very much appreciated your input, THANK YOU!!!
After replacing the fuel filter the engine would not stay running. It would start ok, but die after thirty or so seconds. We could here the fuel pump engage when we turned the key, so we took it as the pump being good. The pressure indicated something was wrong down there so we took the pump out. The line inside the tank was degraded, probably just for so many years in the tank. We replaced the fuel pump, strainer and line. The wagoneer started right up and runs like new.
Two problems though, First the new fuel pump is loud. You can here it inside and outside of the vehicle. The pump is Carter part # P74155. We are thinking they gave us the M.P.I. pump instead of the T.B.I. pump. But would the M.P.I. pump be able to fit if it was the wrong pump?
Second, when the new pump was put in, we must have screwed up something because the tank reads empty and its full and the low fuel fuel light is on all the time now. Yes I know we should of been more careful----how to fix it is my question.
