Replace fuel pump and strainers on 99 jeep wrangler tj with 4.0 due to

Replace crankshaft sensor? Jeeps are notorious for electrical problems...

  • Anonymous Jun 18, 2012

    I have already replace fuel pump and strainers, gas tank is already remounted with skid plate. Previously, before repair, the engine would run and run fine and after about 5-10 miles shut down and not restart.... then it would sit for at least 24 hours and restart again and run for 20 -30 miles and then die and not restart. I am getting intermediate fuel pressure on fuel rail with pressure gauge attached. Highest pressure has been (with new pump and strainers) 45psi...but it would not hold consistent pressure or start engine. Just crank and crank with pressure on fuel rail ranging from 5 psi to the 45 psi but not holding consistant pressure. replaced distributor and rotor (needed too anyway). did not check while distributor cap off if rotor was turning. No start engine...checked at spark plug with tester and no spark through tester to plug. I need to check coil. Throttle body sensor replaced last year when engine was running and would not idle consistent....I do not remember how to check coil. It is like the fuel pump is not getting consistant voltage to keep it going and with no fire at spark plug? So, much of my research on problem has lead me to need to test crankshaft sensor. I have checked relays in under dash box and they test good...but I will pull them out and re check and clean terminals.....I am running through and checking things but I need her running in two weeks....thanks!

If the led is working and the remote does not work then it will need to be resyincronised which is easy using a t300 scanner all good auto electricians carry them

SOURCE: 2004 Jeep Wrangler TJ won't

if your jeep has a harder time starting when its warm as well, i would say the throttle position sensor is bad, or dirty. mine does tah same thing. i just live with it. its cheaper than replacing it.

SOURCE: how to replace a jeep tj fuel tank?

I would be really careful with doing this repair as this is very dangerous. You need to relieve the fuel pressure by pulling the fuel pump fuse and starting the truck. Drain the tank with a siphon pump. Remove any exhaust or other parts that are in the way, loosen the straps and support the tank with a floor jack and a block of wood. There are several hoses, and a few wire connectors to disconnect and you may want to replace those hoses while you're down there. Once you put the new tank in, reconnect the electrical and hoses, raise the tank and strap it back up. Put anything else back together you took off the truck.
Personally, I would take this in to get fixed as this is dangerous work (I did mention that). I you do this anyway, use your head and buy a proper container to hold the gas in , as well as jackstands and a class "B" fire extinguisher. Disconnect the battery and don't smoke or use a drop light under the car, and I will not accept responsibility for this.

SOURCE: 99 Jeep Cherokee Sport, 4.0L -won't start

you need to have it connected to an OBD2 machine and watch if you are missing the cam sensor showing RPMs
or if your missing crank sensors RPMs,
it could be a wiring problem or computer if your seeing the RPMs from both sensors,and the last thing i would check is hooking up a fuel gauge to the reed valve and watch what fuel pressure you have while cranking,if the cam sensor is the culprit it will turn the fuel off after the cranking.

99 Wrangler TJ Sport 4.0L Straight 6 Automatic Dies while driving

If it was fuel related it would have sputtered as it ran out of gas. I think it is lack of spark caused by a failing crankshaft or camshaft position sensor.

My jeep just turns over but wont start.when problem started i was driving and it just stalled . we got it to start back up after acouple of minutes drove about 1 mile and it stalled again.hasent fired back...

Replace the crank sensor-Jeeps are notorious for this, many TJ owners carry a spare. It is located on the driver side, and you can see it (push the hood all the way up so it rests against your front windshield for more room) and replace it from top or bottom, it's located by the top-left side of the bellhousing, between the engine and bellhousing. It is held in place by 2-11mm bolts, and has a harness that unplugs about 1 foot up from the sensor, very near the fuel rail. They run about $90, if you price around you can get one for close to $75.

Will1999 wrangler tj 4.0 engine intercange with 2002 grand cherokee 4.0

Hello,

You need to call a Dodge dealer, have the VIN info from both Jeeps, they will tell you what will and will not work, if they dont call another Jeep & or Dodge dealer.

To my understanding only some sensor placement differences make these engines different.

For sure the 02 WJ intake will make more power then the 99, it will be worth it to make that intake fit.

Good Luck!

Hope this helps.

Having a issue with my 1988 Jeep Wrangler starting. At times it will start right up but at other times it will not start at all. It will sputter in when trying to start it but wont turn over. All wires are...

Those 88's run a 2 barrel carb that is notorious for causing minor issues like this. Sounds like your carb and/or fuel filter is clogged...this is common due to the age and rust accumulating inside of the gas tank (normal for older vehicles). When is the last time you have had the carb thoroughly cleaned and/or rebuilt? I'd look there for the problem. If not there, then perhaps your fuel pump is dying and just not able to force enough down the line for idling and driving.
