The XJ is not running, fired up with starting fluid. It is a obvious fuel issue. Pulled the tank, checked the pump, and we are good. Anyone know the exact location of the fuel relay or what it might possibly be. It is the 4.0 88 model. Thanks guys.

 

Turn the key to he run position and listen for the fuel pump to buzz. If it doesnt the relay could be bad or the pump is bad.

The relay is under the hood on the passenger side, should be four relays in a line. I beleive the fuel pump is the second one in the group if you are looking at it from the front of the jeep. I could be wrong though, check your chiltons.

 

Also check for fuel at the fuel rail, theres a little schraeder valve there that you can push and see if it squirts fuel. If so check your pressure with a gauge, might just be a bad regulator or clogged fuel filter.

You absolutly want to check the fuel pressure with a mechanical pressure gauge.
