Re: Jeep engine problems
Hopefully, I took care of this problem on Saturday... I dropped the tank, cleaned it out real good with POR-15 Marine Clean and a lot of water afterwards, dried the tank real good, and replaced:
Fuel pump and prefilter
Fuel filling and vent lines
A couple of fuel hoses that looked worn
Fuel filter (old one looked OK, but just in case!)
Injector rail
Fuel injectors (I put some Bosch ones in instead of the stock injectors)
Once the summer comes around, and the temps go back up, I will be able to tell if this fixed the problem or not. Since almost the entire ignition and fuel systems have been replaced, I figured the odds of it not being fixed are slim, right? It's probably overkill, but I wanted to be sure none of these systems would fail in a good couple of years, so I think it was well worth it. Plus, I did it myself, so it was not exceedingly expensive (not after finding the best deals online for each product, anyway!).
I think I will now give the 4.0L TB a second chance, and see if I can get the Jeep to idle propperly. After that, I will also measure the compresion of each cylinder to make sure there are no problems there,,,
