Can someone help me with a part number? Need the part number for the sensor on the drier/receiver of the ac system. This is a 1996 Cherokee with the 4.0l. The parts counter guy had nothing which is frustrating.

Default no fuel to fuel rail

Hi, I have a 1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4.0L with no fuel getting to the rail. I flooded the Intake out with mud last week and had to clean out the air box and intake. I took out all the spark plugs and turned it over to get any water residue out. I've replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter and checked all the lines for cracked or pinched with no luck. I've checked to make sure new pump is working right and it seems to be making the usual noise but with no luck getting fuel to the rail. I'm at a loss for what it could be.

On the driver's side fender there's a little ceramic brick with two wires on it. Try tying those two wires together. The fuel pump ballast resistor is notorious for that.

Is that thing supposed to get pretty hot while its working? The one on my 91 was the other day and I never noticed it before.
