Re: MPI questions.....

O.k. got a YJ with an MPI kit. I think the fuel pump is going. The Jeep seems to ping and rattle a lot if I want to jump on the gas. The cat was changed less than 1,000 miles ago.

You can retard the timeing 2 degrees by putting washers between the CPS braket and the oil pan.

Now, I checked Hesco's site ( www.hesco.us ) and they have 2 of them. One regular replacement and one that provides higher pressure (70-90 psi.) The difference in price is $10.

Now here are my questions:

1) What is the normal pressure of and fuel pump for a 4.0L fuel pump?

The pressure at the rail under full throttle is 40psi+

2) Will using a higher pressure pump do anything bad? (This is an older engine with 130,000 + miles.)

Don't know the answer to that one

And, on a different note:

3) What should the order of fuel delivery be?
a) fuel tank - pump - filter - engine
b) fuel tank - filter - pump - engine

fuel tank - pre filter(Nappa #18-7831) - pump - filter - engine

Thanks for any help.
