QUESTION: I talked with a mechanic and he feels the problem is within fuel flowing to the engine. How many filters or filter involves gas flowing to the engine?
Thank you for responding.
ANSWER: its not a filter issue so don't wast any money on that. A filter does not fix it self or work some times. Think about it if u have a stopped up water line to your house and it was clogged up if u were to by chance unclogged it would it just clog it self back up and unclog it self when it wants to after 10 min of use??? If he things it a flow issue tell him to do a pressure test and a flow test 7oz of fuel in 3 seconds is normal. U still did not answer if u used an aftermarket pump so U got what U paid for in most cases.

QUESTION: The fuel pump put in my jeep was not suppose to be an after market part as I don't believe in cutting corners. Also if you did not live so far away I would be happy to have you service my Jeep. I live in Delaware. Please respond and thanks for all of your help.
AnswerIf it is a factory pump and it has infact failed U can get a new on from Chrysler they have a 12 month 12k warranty. Next time U go out to start do this. Cycle the key on and off 3 times then fire it up if U start up right away then yes pump infact they have a tsb to replace a check valve on the fuel pump to stop it from bleeding down.
