OK, I own 2 Wranglers. One, a '94, with the 6 cyl/5speed. The second, a '95 with the 4 cyl/5speed. They both just turned over 205,000 within the last 2 or 3 weeks.
My Jeep(the '95)started bucking and cutting out, but only after driving it about 50 miles at a shot, and then, only on the way home, never on the way to work. You'd get home, park it for a few minutes, then you could drive away with no further problems. Did the usual tune-up stuff(f/filter, cap, rotor, wires, plugs)just 'cuz it was time, with no improvement. Then, several days later, I took the wife's Jeep to work. Well, on the way home, her's started acting the exact same way, at almost the exact same place(did I mention that my Jeep did this like 5 days in a row within a 1/4 mile of the same place each time?). Well, since both Jeeps were acting up I really had to find the problem. I brought a fuel pressure gauge home from work, and when the wife's Jeep started to act up, I stopped on the side of the road, hooked up the gauge, bungeed it to the hood and took off again. Sure enough, after a few minutes I noticed the fuel pressure start to drop off. When it got below 20 psi the bucking and cutting out began. OK, needs a fuel pump. So, Tuesday I loaded the gauge into *my* Jeep and off we went. The outside temps had dropped some, so it didn't act up on Tuesday night(or maybe because I actually had the gauge with me and wanted it to act up?). Well, we kept at it, and last night on the way home, I was able to verify that my fuel pressure also is dropping off. Great, now I need 2 of them damn pumps. It's just weird that both Jeeps would develope the exact same problem, and manifest the exact same symptoms(down to acting up within a 1/4 mile of the same place)at the same time. I can only conclude that the design life of the electric fuel pump is
200,000 miles. Anybody know a cheap on-line source for gen-u-wine, Jeep replacement pumps? Don't want an aftermarket, since the originals lasted so long, I want to use a factory part.-- Old Crow '82 FLTC-P "Pearl" '95 Wrangler YJ TOMKAT, SENS, BS#133, MAMBM, SLOB#?
