I plan on making Saturday a major service day, a lot of small parts have shown up.
One thing I plan on doing is cracking the fuel line up top and give a healthy shot of fresh non-corn gas and see if it will prime and run.
If that fuel pump is dead, I am sorely tempted to convert to electrical. I had enough misery getting that replacement to bolt up. Typical knockoff aftermarket tolerances.
Good strategy. I bet you have to replace the fuel pump in the end though.
I got the "change oil" light - so tomorrow I'll do that minor job. Found out the best recommended for my year Jeep is 5.7 Liters of 5W20 (synthetic), and the filter should be Royal Purple, MOPAR, or K&N Engineering. If Autozone or NAPA doesn't have those, I'll go with a Purlator.
Also read, on these later model Jeeps, to turn off the "Change Oil" message words on the dash, turn the key on, bring gas to the floor 3 full times, turn key off.
On the earlier model Jeeps, you don't have to worry about this nonsense!
This won’t be your problem but I’ll chunk it out there.
Knew a guy back in the early 80s who related how he had run out of gas in his Chevy pickup. He bought gas and a funnel. Afterwards he would periodically have fuel problems. Eventually got to the stage of pulling his saddle tanks. In the one he had used to re-fuel with the gas can he found the trouble source. A label that had been stuck on the inside of the funnel was washed off by the gas and went into the tank and was sometimes being sucked up against the line inlet.
