I did pick up another fuel pump and gas cap this evening, but haven't installed them yet. Now you've got me wondering if I should even bother with the pump or just return it. Maybe it isn't a pump problem at all, but I'm not sure how I would figure it out.
ThisGuyUKnow: If I try blowing out the fuel lines with compressed air, what PSI do you suggest? Maybe around 40 or 50?
Also, if I blow out the fuel lines (and replace the pump), how much trouble am I going to have getting the system primed again?
Damn...One other thing I keep forgetting to mention...despite a decent tune-up and the other normal maintenance stuff, the Jeep also is getting pretty poor fuel mileage overall, even when it seems to be running fine at lower speeds/on flat ground....
