2.5L TBI
1) Adjustment of fuel pressure is required after replacement
of pressure regulator. Remove air inlet from throttle body. Connect
tachometer to diagnostic connector terminals D1-1 and D1-3. Connect
fuel pressure gauge to fuel body pressure test fitting.
NOTE: Some TBI models do not have a pressure test fitting on
throttle body. Use Fitting (PN 8983 501 572) for this
purpose.
2) Start engine and accelerate to 2000 RPM. Turn adjustment
screw to obtain 14.5 psi (1.02 kg/cm
) fuel pressure. Location of
adjustment screw is on bottom of regulator. Install lead seal ball to
cover regulator adjustment screw after adjusting fuel pressure to
specification. Turn ignition off. Disconnect fuel pressure gauge.
Install cap on test fitting. Install air inlet.
NOTE: To increase fuel pressure, turn adjustment screw inward. To
decrease fuel pressure, turn adjustment screw outward.
4.0L MPFI
1) Remove cap from pressure test port in fuel rail. Connect
Fuel Pressure Gauge (J-37730-1) to pressure fitting. Start vehicle.
Pressure should be approximately 31 psi (2.7 kg/cm
) with vacuum
hose connected to pressure regulator.
2) Pressure should be 39 psi (2.74 kg/cm
) with vacuum
hose removed from regulator. If fuel pressure is not to
specifications, check for kinks or restricting bends in fuel supply
and return lines. Check fuel pump flow rate. Pump should deliver
minimum of 1.06 quarts (one liter) of fuel per minute with fuel
return line pinched off.
3) If flow is inadequate, check system for plugged fuel
filter or filter sock. Fuel pump flow rate can be checked by
connecting a hose to fuel test port on fuel rail and inserting other
end in clean container.
4) To operate fuel pump, install a jumper wire into
diagnostic connector terminals D1-5 and D1-6. Pinch off fuel return
line to ensure that no fuel returns to fuel tank. If fuel pressure is
still not to specifications and fuel flow is normal, replace
regulator.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
FUEL PUMP
Removal (2.5L TBI)
1) Disconnect battery cables. Ensure fuel level is less than
1/2 for this procedure. Remove fuel outlet and return hoses. Remove
sending unit wires. Remove sending unit retaining lock ring.
2) Remove sending unit/pump assembly with "O" ring seal.
Disconnect fuel hose from fuel pump. Disconnect wires from fuel pump.
Remove fuel pump from sending unit.
Installation
Clean seal contact are of fuel tank. Install new "O" ring
seal. Install a new filter on end of suction tube. Position sending
unit/pump assembly in tank. To complete installation, reverse removal
procedure. Start engine and check for leaks.
CAUTION: Fuel leaks can develop from over tightening sending
unit/pump during installation.

1988 Switches & Instrument Panels
JEEP
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Instrument panel is composed of speedometer housing,
tachometer and instrument cluster gauges.
FUEL GAUGE
System consists of a fuel gauge, an in-tank sending unit, and
appropriate wiring. Fuel gauge is grounded through variable resistor
of sending unit. A float attached to a slide rheostat follows fuel
level and varying resistance increases or decreases indicator reading.
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
System consists of gauge and sending unit and appropriate
wiring. The gauge is grounded through variable resistor of sending
unit. Changes in coolant temperature vary resistance in sending unit,
increasing or decreasing indication on gauge.
VOLTMETER
The voltmeter indicates regulated voltage to provide an
indication of charging system's ability to maintain battery charge.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
The oil pressure gauge system consists of gauge and a
variable resistance sending unit. Gauge needle, attached to bi-
metallic strip, responds to temperature changes.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
Removal & Installation
1) Disconnect negative battery cable. On models with cruise
control, reach behind instrument cluster and disconnect speedometer
cable from speed switch. See Fig. 1.
2) On models without cruise control, raise vehicle on hoist.
Disconnect speedometer cable from transfer case (or transmission) and
at frame rail bracket. Move speedometer cable forward and upward to
provide slack. Lower vehicle.
3) On all models, remove instrument panel bezel screws and
bezel. Remove screws attaching cigarette lighter and switch housings
to instrument panel. Move housings aside.
4) Remove screws attaching cluster to instrument panel and
carefully pull cluster and speedometer toward rear of vehicle.
Disconnect wiring harness connectors.
5) Squeeze speedometer cable locking tabs and disconnect
cable from speedometer. See Fig. 1. Remove instrument cluster. To
install, reverse removal procedure.
