Default I need help with my 96 grand Cherokee

I have a 96 jeep grand Cherokee limited 4×4 5.2 v8. It's acting like the fuel pump is out but it's working just replaced the pickup coil it will crank as long as I spray gas or carb cleaner into the throttle body but not any other time any advice would be greatly appreciated

There's your problem. It should be around 40psi.

Holy cow! That much ha? Cool, learned something new.

Thank you OP for posting and of course the infamous BustedBack for the education.

PeterB.

PS. How'd you get that avatar? I hope you really didn't bust your back. Backaches can be extremely painful, I've had my share. Seeya around Sir.

Btw at your convenience could you please take a look see at; ? on TPSM post I have running? You probably know exactly what my issue is. Thank you, enjoy your day.

Broken back in 2002 on a motorcycle. My back is better than ever thanks to a bunch of hardware and a spinal fusion.

It might be the fuel pressure regulator which, I believe, on the 5.2 is on the back side of the throttle body.

It's on the fuel pump on a 96 with a returnless fuel system.
