2000 jeep grand cheerkee
I just recently bought a jeep! Make long story short the WAS starting just fine well..thought they had a gas leak, come to find out the fuel pump wasnt all the way in the gas tank! We have that fixed..no leaks! when i go to take off from a complete stop(red light) it sputters bad and wont acculturate! When i shut ignition all the way off, it takes 5 cranks or i have to sit,and wait eventually itll start! Im starting by putting some sea foam.. possibly an fuel filter! but im wondering why this abs light is on could it be fuses?? Cause i see something about a F20 fuse for ignition and start and heater! And its no concidence my heater dont work! I need help!

probably have a bad fuel pump but id start with the filter. if the tank was open to the outside air because the pump wasnt all the way in you could have also gotten a bunch of junk in the tank that may have clogged up the pump sock in the tank, which would definitely cause it to sputter and not accelerate and will also burn up your pump.
you can put some seafoam in the tank but it probably wont fix anything, its more of a maintenance than a repair.
get the ABS code scanned, chances are its not a fuse.
a blown fuse wouldnt cause an extended crank, it would cause it not to start/crank/turn over at all. if your heat isnt working it could be a plugged heater core or possibly a blend door problem.

i know the pump works i hear it coming on.. i tried to do that seafoam at 8am and been driving out that gas for hours! Stopped at academy and now it wont start again and this time it seems as if the steering column locked! As soon as i get it started im going get the pump! Any other suggestions
