No Problem!
Also when you test your fuel pump let us know how it turns out. Like it was mentioned before they tend to go out about 150/m it really depends though i have had mine in for 172,xxx with no issues where some have had theirs in for 100,xxx and had to replace them. (not cheap) but easy to replace and its a good piece of mind, If you do determine it is the fuel pump then also replace the fuel filter and run some sea foam through the system. If you have the pump out say just over night it will collect moisture from condensation and the sea foam will take out any moisture in the fuel system.

Right on man, I didn't even think about that. Well I guess the pump, if it's the orginal, had a good run while it lasted.. My jeep does have 242,000 miles on it after all

this particular fuel pump has been used in many cars like honda civic, suzukis, hyundai accents and excels and many others. Find the cheapest one with the best quality and you'd be good to go.

I just had similar simptons and i ended up hang testing a similar model computer, its three screws and three plugs. You dont have to have the same exact year or trany just engine. I have a 97 4.0L manual and i was able to do a temp swap with a 96 4.0 automatic and it worked temp till got a new one. None of my gauges worked till i got my new comp.
