  1. northlake area. Lavista rd and 285.
  2. yes i did replace the fuel filter, i'm not to sure that i'm getting the right pressure, i hooked the pressure gauge to the fuel rail and i got around 40 - 45 psi. I need to check for spark, what will be the best way to check for spark? Thank you,
  3. Amigos, Just to give some background, i replaced the fuel tank, and rebuild the fuel sending unit, everything seems to be fine with that, after putting some fresh fuel i tried to start the truck but no luck. The truck its being sitting for a couple of years that why i change the fuel tank because it was really bad, also it had bad fuel in it. (I drained out all the bad fuel from the system). This is what i done lately (last 3 months) -New sparks plugs and wires -New distributor cap and rotor -oil change - new cps sensor Any ideas of what i could do. Also if you guys know of a good mechanic in the Atlanta area please let me know, I travel quite often for work, and it is really hard for me now invest a weekend working on "La Comanche" Thank you for your help.
  4. dropped the fuel tank and searching for a complete fuel pump assembly.
  5. Finally i dropped the fuel tank to see what the hell whats going on with the fuel pump and the tank is rusted from the inside really bad, and the fuel pump assembly is in really bad shape, i was reading that a radiator shop could clean the tank, but i figure if i can get a new one for less than $150 it might be worth buying a new one, i read that a good place is rockauto or ebay , but what about the fuel pump assembly in rock auto cost $330 where you guys think i can get a better deal? I will post a picture of the pump so you guys give an advice. Thank for your help.
  6. I live in Atlanta, Midtown area.
  7. Could you give the name of the one in fairburn GA, or the name please. thank you,
  8. Do you guys know of nay good Junk yards in the atlanta area?
  9. Any ideas where can i dispose the old fuel?
  10. Well, i just did a fuel pressure test and i got 34psi, it held the pressure, after approx 20min the pressure drop to about 30 psi. I switch the fuel pump relay with the ac relay to see if that was the problem but it did not made a difference also i jumped the ballast resistor but did not a make a difference, what I'm thinking is to empty the fuel tank and put some fresh fuel. Any ideas?
  11. changed the CPS, clean battery terminals, went to the Autoparts a million times. And still the comanche is not starting.
  12. The problem that I'm having is that the truck does not start. The truck is being sitting for about 3-4 years, recently about three months ago the fuel pump was replaced and the oil filter o-ring kit, by a mechanic that works for a guy that owned me money of some design work that i did for him, he told me that the fuel pump was replaced but i don't know really it is really hard to start the truck, even if i'm jump start the truck, it takes a while. So started reading about this issue and found that it could be the CPS, so i replaced, for a new from autozone. After i replaced the truck did not started , check the ground connection form the battery and found that there was a voltage drop of approx 3 volts so i clean all the terminals and now i don't have a voltage drop. I want to perform a fuel pressure test could you guys point me in the right direction. Also, where can i get the ballast resistor is broken. Finally is there any local comanche owners? Thank you for help.
  13. Thank you guys, i think since my engine is leaking really bad i will wait for the rebuild or the swap i just going to get a new set of seals and replace them. Do you know of a good book that kind of guide how to do it? Also do you know if there is a Jeep club in Atlanta Georgia. Thank for your help. Rafiki
  14. Hello, This is my first post, i was wondering what will be the best way to fix a 1991 MJ 4.0 2WD, the engine is leaking everywhere, how hard is to rebuild the engine and how expensive or is possible to install and engine from a 2000 Grand cherokee 4.0L V6 4WD. Thank you for your help.
