I put the Howell kit in and it's set up as per instructions. It's been running off and on for about a year as it was not a DD. I don't think its electrical since it runs fine at slow speeds and when warm. Once it heats up after driving for a while it acts as though its out of gas when you put a load on it. So first thing is to move the pump and see what happens.

Thanks Kim for the complements, It's still not done, but are they ever?
Yes, parking brake light... I turned mine into the check engine and reconnected the PB light in the speedo housing.
 
OK, through a strange turn of events I now have a '97 wrangler 4.0 w/5 speed coming to me in the next few days or so. Looks like I will be staring at Big Walton's engine swap thread.
I'm just wondering if I should run a in tank pump or external.... I haven't been to thrilled with the pump set up from Howell or it could be my pick-up in my tank is not on the bottom.

BW: Have you had any problems with engine power loss on hard turns?
 
Never had a problem with my setup aside from an idle air control valve going bad which took some luck to diagnose. Never had any driveability issues of any kind.
 
Thanks for the info.. At any rate I'll still need to drop the tank and see where the pick-up is at in the tank.
I sometimes get a hesitation when taking left turns. Did you ever get your scan port wired in?
 
I did, haven't had much need for it as yet. It throws a code for the battery temp sensor which I thought I had fixed with the resistor. I think there were a couple other random nuisance codes too, but it's been a long while since I scanned it.
 
Thanks, you wouldn't happen to have a wire diagram for that? What pump brand did you go with?
 
Everything I did for wiring is in the excel sheet I posted in my swap thread. So yes.

After reading until my eyes crossed on fuel pumps and brands and complaints I finally threw up my hands, went to eBay and literally went with two of the cheapest buy it now e2000 equivalent pumps I could find. I figured I'd give it a shot as they were a fraction of some of the brand name pumps and just resolved that I'd keep the spare in the jeep at all times knowing I could swap it out with just a leathman if needed.

My first pump is still going 5 years later or whatever and as quiet as any I've ever heard. I gave my first spare to Jake/cj8lvr at the national a few years back aftet his original one quit and I think it's still going. I got another one the same way as a new spare. Don't remember who the seller was.
