Re: Cherokee fuel press
Mike, this is interesting. There is something on left inner fender just
near the water tank for windshield wipers. That Ceramic thing is broken
on my car and I fixed it just with some tape to keep it "complete". It
looks like some of those things to prevent sounds on radio coming from
alternator, can it be cramic ballast resistor, and is it possible that
it goes to fuel pump?
I'm going to check all of this. Must be in Haynes something about it.
Will tell you what happened.
Thanks.

Re: Cherokee fuel press
Mike, please, one more thing. If I drop down to fuel pump connections,
how many volts should I read? More or less than 12 Volts? After your
reply, everything is suspicious now. I remember one time I washed engine
in my Cherokee and after a while, problems started. Possible some
connection somewhere is rusty.

how many volts should I read? More or less than 12 Volts? After your
reply, everything is suspicious now. I remember one time I washed engine
in my Cherokee and after a while, problems started. Possible some
connection somewhere is rusty.

Re: Cherokee fuel press
Mike, please, one more thing. If I drop down to fuel pump connections,
how many volts should I read? More or less than 12 Volts? After your
reply, everything is suspicious now. I remember one time I washed engine
in my Cherokee and after a while, problems started. Possible some
connection somewhere is rusty.
