1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Hello, I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a Inline 6, 4.0L, and it is
having some starting issues. It will take it forever to start, it will crank over about 10-15 times and then finally start, Do you have any sugestions? I have replaced: Spark Plugs, had all liquids changed, and etc. Could you help? Thanks |

Thanks Try turning the key on, waiting for the pump to stop buzzing, turn the key off, turn the key back on, then turn the key to start. If this solves the issue then you have a problem with pressure bleed down. Also pull the codes. http://www.wjjeeps.com/faultcodes.htm -- DougW |

That did the trick by turning the key of for 5 seconds... So how can I fix
the problem? |

I hope yours is like an '02 and they moved the regulator/filter
outside the tank: http://www.billhughes.com/temp/WJfuelRegulator.pdf God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O McNick wrote: > > That did the trick by turning the key of for 5 seconds... So how can I fix > the problem? |

Hopefully you have the system Bill pointed out. If so your in luck because on the 93-95 it was either the fuel rail pressure regulator (easy but not cheap) or the fuel pump check valve (not easy and not cheap) -- DougW |

That's where Ford and GM put them. Makes for a full pressure ninety
pounds test easy. God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O http://www.billhughes.com/ DougW wrote: > > possibly.

Look for an aftermarket filter for fuel injection that uses commonly available fittings. They don't have to be reusable but they should be rated for at least 70psi, most are rated up to 100 burst. I routinely put 72psi on the stock ZJ filter. But it uses those hard-to-find O-ring clippy things. >> That's where Ford and GM put them.

Hi Bill,
Seeing yours is external I'd just go ahead a replace it and the regulator, probably on a fifty thousand mile interval, or a trip to Mexico. Nothing's said about it at in your lube schedule: http://www.billhughes.com/WJLubeSchedule.jpg God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O Billy Ray wrote: > > Do you think using a replaceable filter before the regulator is feasible? > > It would have a working pressure of about 50 PSI > -- > (remove SPAM) > 2002 Jeep WJ 4 Liter Automatic > Sharing is why we are all here....... or should be. |

I was thinking perhaps one of those oil filter sized ones like Ford used in
my T-bird and daughter's Cougar. I could cut and flare the steel the steel tube and use high pressure hose and a couple stainless steel clamps -- (remove SPAM) 2002 Jeep WJ 4 Liter Automatic Sharing is why we are all here....... or should be. ..
