93 wrangler 4.0 ticking sound early in the morning, only has happened a couple times. i want to say cold weather ping, but it's been way colder with no ping. it sounds like ignition or valve train related? like every other revolution tick sound. it went away after a couple minutes driving, and then back to purring like a kitten.
93 grand cherokee 4.0 (buying for my wife) has a hard time starting after it's sat for a while, overnight not so bad, but a couple days and she cranks for a while. i want to say fuel pump check valve is draining back. sound about right? if this is it, i might build a timer circuit to bump the pressure before cranking.

Ditto. That is why you get the parts from somewhere and do the job yourself.
not OEM? here is an article about autozone fuel pumps you might want to read first, I have it archived so don't have the message number: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Your fuel pump is more than likely on it's way out, and it would be wise to replace it now than to wait and be stranded (don't ask me how I know this). I remember reading somewhere that these fuel pumps would get contaminated with the left over solder from when the fuel tanks were put together and get louder and fail. The same thing happened to me, and mine went all of a sudden. How I missed that noise that night... Also, spend the extra money and get a >OEM< fuel pump. As a tech, I have replaced many pumps 2 and 3 times because the aftermarket ones failed after a couple of months. I too bought a Master fuel pump from Autozone, and after 2 months the noise was back, so I returned it and got a Ford one, and haven't had trouble since. Since this is a very aggravating job and the pumps seem to always go right AFTER you fill up, do yourself a favor and get a good one the first time. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ EDITED: >OEM< was originally "Ford" in original message.
Now do you _still_ want to go through all that HELL of replacing a fuel pump with autozone part, only to have to do it again in 2 months?

What a pile of crap that post is!
'Solder' from making the tank contaminating the fuel pumps. ROTFLMAO!
I have never heard anything so foolish.
