Fuel Pump Replacement | Jeep Cherokee XJ 97-01 

You don't happen to have the measurements still do you? Lol

A.k.a destroying a good jeep by beign lazy and not doing it the right way

Austin I meant to ask, do you have the part # for the fuel line white plastic clips? Thanks again.

how was the carter brand

@@BH-gh6qm seems to hold up well but I do have an issue with some pretty bad idle surging on cold start. It's really bad in cold weather to the point where it will die right away unless I give it some rpm for a few minutes until it stabilizes. At times, if i don't let the engine get to standard temp, i'll get some backfiring and loss of power\delay from 2nd-3rd gear. I'm certain it has to do with the injectors. I replaced the injectors at the same time as the pump when this issue popped up. Got some $50 Bosch 4holes from eBay so maybe one or more of them is faulty. I haven't had much time to test the voltage to see if that is the case. As far as the fuel pump goes, I'm sure that's not my issue as it fires right up. Sorry I couldn't be more definitive with your question but I'd say give Carter a go if you're looking to change yours out soon. Bought mine off of rockauto if i can remember correctly.

I would recheck your evap lines from the engine to the charcoal canister and to the tank. It's a common issue for them to break, rust out, or have cracked rubber at the connections. All of those can lead to the check engine light.

@@OutJeeping I'll do that, thanks

It did since the sending unit is part of the whole modulator.

Only reason I didn't because I didn't have a Jerry can available larger than 1 gallon.

@@OutJeeping just got my XJ silver and orange ‘OUTJEEPING’ decal today….SWEET!!

Yes but it would probably take just as long to drop the tank. The job can easily be done in a few hours.

Look for a used one but if you can purchase new then get a NEW trans…,

Make sure the trans fluid is topped off and not burnt. But if it comes down to a bad transmission I would look for a used one. They are pretty solid transmissions so even one from the junk yard could have plenty of life left.

Straps I got came with new rods.

You would still need to pull out the module from in the tank and take the old fuel pump off that assembly to replace it.

Very similar if not exactly the same process.

So far the Delphi pump is still doing well.

Update, the check valve failed and holds no fuel pressure after engine shut off. Do you have a source where you found the Bosch pump?

@@OutJeeping I am sorry to hear that Ended up buying a pump off 1A Auto. Fuel pressure out of the box is 45 psi. Under the spec for both the pump and factory spec of 49.2 +/- 2. Sending unit also not good but idk if the pump is sitting right No on any Bosch sources. If you find anyone selling NOS or any in stock Bosch or even Mopar let me know Edit: that one source actually did not have a Bosch fuel pump

It is not, just some cheap ebay hose

They were the old ones off the old tank straps.

They came with the new tank straps

It should be easier for Cherokees before 97. You are able to replace the fuel pump while the tank is in the vehicle since it is on the side of the tank. They will take a different style fuel pump modulator for the correct year.

@@OutJeeping Ok. Thanks for the info!

The older metal tanks rusted out, and a poly tank would solve that issue.

@@OutJeeping I’m about to replace my 96 fuel tank and I’m seeing aftermarket poly tanks. I wasn’t sure if they were any good but that might be the push I needed to pull the trigger on it

That's because mine is still rocking and rolling 😎

It's you again! did you try a back flush? mine was close to dead but a good flush brought it back to life

@@faresBtoush1990 it’s actually leaking and his videos speaks to my brain😂. The available videos on this topic are quite bad ..

If you have any leads on Bosch spill the beans No luck myself finding a Bosch or Mopar fuel pump
