Huh...seems to be running fine today...cleared the code we'll see if it comes back. I did the ecu reset thing by disconnecting and shorting the battery leads and then the headlight thing too. Does that take a while to adjust to the 4 hole injectors? Fuel trim seems to be staying near 0% most of the time. Also when should it switch to closed loop? Is it dependant on the O2 sensor temp or coolant temp? It's been switching when the coolant is around 70F.

Whoops, forgot to share it...fixed. It's weird. At 0 speed today I let it idle in the parking lot for a few minutes and it never went below -3% on the fuel trim reading, but it was still studdering slightly every few seconds. I was going to change the spark plugs this last weekend too but didn't get to it. Think that'll help?
Edit: HA look at that...It did the opposite today...^
Also, when initially letting of the accelerator to coast both sensors go to 0V for a bit and then come back up.

So guys, I bought a new fuel pump (Delphi is the brand) to replace my old buzzing one and while I was at it, got a new (new to me) gas tank as well to replace my dented old one. Put it all together and the new pump buzzes louder than my olde one, so I took it back and got another under warranty and put it in and it does the same thing. What the heck, so am I doing something wrong, did I get two faulty pumps? Any ideas? I have a couple buddies who own a shop and they said Delphi is about the best brand you can get. Any ideas?

anybody? I tried making sure the tank straps were tight that might cause loosens and buzzing, I double check to make sure the new fuel pump was seated in the tank correctly and it's good, any other ideas? I just ordered a Bosch fuel pump from Advanced auto but I want to make sure it's the fuel pump that's causing the problem before I stick this one in. Is Delphi known for these problems or what? What could cause a buzzing fuel pump straight outta the box. Restriction in fuel lines? Faulty fuel pump? Thanks
If you're paranoid about the buzzing being an issue, go with the Bosch... it's what everyone (on multiple forums) seems to recommend.

Haven't heard any issues like you're mentioning from a Delphi pump personally. I will say that AC Delco and Delphi aren't the quality Made in USA stuff they used to be. They have been caught up in the outsourcing that plagues the industry nowadays.

Maybe a dumb question but did any other Chrysler vehicles come with WJ seats? I'm swapping those into my XJ and every time I go to the yards the drivers seats are always gone so was curious if I have other options.

I don't think so. But, if you know how to weld, technically you can fit any seat from and car you want.

OK, found a good deal on a AW4/231 that they say is from an 01 cherokee 140K, (already out with T/C attached) and my son's has 300K mi on his and is kinda growling louder than it should to me.
Son's is a 01 sport and searched here and NAXJA but seems like lots for the early aw4 but not so much for the later 97 to 01 interchangeability
..
What stickers/stampings on the trans for date of mfg or if it WILL fit my son's 01?
"lady" says that the only markings on tranny is: 333-2x and it's about a 1.5hr drive one way.
I'll have to look at my son's when he gets home from school tomorrow.
Need to know kinda quick to plan a road trip like that. (I got a gazzillions of things going on, and need to fit it in)
Thanks E
