I replaced the wires with the tune up.
Do you think the MAP sensor could have anything to do with it?
If the MAP was bad the engine would idle like ****, so probably not. What about the TPS?

Here it is, hopefully this works.
Am I dumb? Is it something basic? Would it affect my idle? Sometimes Jeep doesn't start or stalls when it does.
Anyway, all it does is make a clicking noise, you can feel it clicking and hear it over the engine noise when it's running!!

Cool 89 Jeep fuel pump

Hey all,

I just bought a 89 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4.0 straight 6. The fuel pump is going bad and my mechanic can not find a fuel pump that will fit. This is massively frustrating and I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem and what should I do. I was trying to fix it before it went out. My mechanic says this particular fuel pump was only used for three years and isn't made any longer. He cant find anything, seems unbelievable. Any advice or help would make this Jeep Loven girl very happy.

Thanks,
G

Default 4.0 engine question

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they used the same 4.0 engine for a 95' xj as in 98'.
I have a blown motor in my 98' and I am needing to find another motor to put in it. What years were the motors the same? Thanks in advance for any replies.

I have never seen that solenoid on other jeeps but if you follow the lines and tell me where they attach to i can tell you what it is for. Probably heater stuff or emission control stuff, is it a californian jeep?

Block is the same, some minor changes of the accessory stuff.

Okay one line goes to a little nipple like thing on the side of the intake manifold, and the other one I cannot follow well enough to see where it attaches to, but it goes down the fire wall on the drivers side (you'll notice in the picture both the lines go over to the drivers side) once it reaches the bottom of the firewall it turns in towards the back of the Jeep and disappears, maybe it goes to the t-case though I don't know why it would. My heater and controls still work when it is unplugged, and it's big vacuum line is one of two vacuum lines that attach to the side of the intake manifold. By "side" I mean the drivers side of the intake manifold, on the side, below the throttle body. And I don't think my Jeep's ever been licensed in California, it is in Km's and still has "Crowfoot Jeep" dealer stamp on the back, which is where it was bought brand new by the previous owner. It was made in the states though, but I think all 99's were, there was only one plant in Toledo pumping them out I think (or so the internet says). I'll try later to trace the second line, I'm at Uni right now and I get weird looks when I pop the hood in the parking lot and tinker during my breaks I'm cool like that
