so after replacing the fuel pump on my xj and the filter. i have considerably less power. it feels so underpowered. but runs fine. any guesses?

 

Check codes...http://jeep-xj.info/HowtoECUcodes.htm

 

What's the fuel pressure reading at?

 

checked codes not not a thing no cel

 

Filter on the right way? Check fuel pressures. If those are within spec, it's likely not related to you swapping the fuel pump (although rule #1 with issues after work done is: recheck the work that has been done)

 

Also, what brand of fuel pump? Hopefully not Airtex..

 

It was a carter brand fuel pump. Yes i put the filter on correctly :LOL: and ill check fuel pressure later at work.

 

Great, I have a Carter assembly for 97+ sitting in my kitchen right now, ready to go in my Jeep! Lol, you have a bastard-child '96 though. I would say it's possible you got the wrong pump.

 

I hate when threads go unresolved so i solved my issues guys!

 

And the resolution was?

 

Maybe we have to guess. I'm going to go with "removed family of squirrels from exhaust pipe".

 

Sold the XJ?

The suspense....

 

That's kind of a half-assed response.

 

The thread remains unresolved!

 

i Lied i thought it solved it but i was incorrect. The fuel line from the tank to my filter was cracked and leaking but after replacement. My old xj still isnt what she used to be.
