Damn check valves... Common problem for the Jeep XJ's too. I know mine had this issue. It was worse in the winter.
I've been wanting to get a fuel pressure gauge, now I've got an excuse to get one... Well, another one. I had one but somehow lost it, or it got swiped.
So, if that's the problem and pressure bleeds off after shutdown do I need a whole new pump? I know that what ever it's got for a pump right now is loud as hell. Thing whines, sounds like a terrible air leak that can easily be heard outside the car while it is running. I hate it. Its about the same volume as my exhaust when at idle. That normal? Or does that sound like my car has a cheap replacement pump in it?
I should also note that the car still has the fuel filter that was on it when I bought it. Been meaning to change it, got the replacement in the trunk... But I haven't quite figured out how to yet. Funky set up on this car.
