Dear owners...
I m driving a 1996 cherokee xj 1996 4.0 L6 auto RHD...
Is there suppose to be a fuel regulator on it?
I do not have one on mine....
from the fuel line...it goes direct to my injector rail...
is it normal?
Thank you for the enlightenment...
Regards.

 

yes it is normal and some of them have the fuel regulator at the end of the rail nearest the radiator

 

84-96 have the regulator built into the fuel rail. Excess fuel is returned to the tank via the return line. The regulator is controlled by engine vaccum.

 

alright guys...thank you....I do not have to worry about it now....
A newbie with jeep....and I hv never seen another cherokee engine here...
Cherokees are sacred here....I m one damn proud owner

 

your fuel pressure regulator is not built into the fuel rail its bolted on the end of it and seals to it with a oring

 

right here on mine

 

So sorry. the housing for the pressure regulator is on the rail, whereas the regulator it self is removable.



Feel better now?

 

not really been feeling sick latley lol

 

Hmmm....ok attached my engine bay pic...is my jeep missing anything?thx.


and a side question...is the hose from the water pump correct?I have seen other engine pic here and it seems that the hose woruld run to the back of the engine(towards firewall)

I do not know if the previous owner's mechanic did any modifications...

Thx guys.

 

htats why my pic says 89 maybe some one with the same year as your can post a pic of where yours is at

 

i wonder if it in the gas tank

 

You got that right my friend, my XJ is my most prized possession and I love it, I will have this Jeep untill the day I die, if the engine ever dies (), I'm dropping a new one in.... and so on and so on...

 

 

10 for effort...no worries dude...at least I get to see a 89 engine layout

 

I m loving it...i cannot compare to a volvo handling....but this babe catches my attention already...love the sturdy tanky body....the raw 4.0 engine...I hope my engine will not die on me....it will be near impossible to get a replacement here...parts cost 5 or more times the cost in US...lucky me...there is ebay and no tax for car parts here
