1 Open the hood. Locate the fuel pump, mounted to the driver's side of the engine block, approximately midway between the front and rear of the motor.2 Loosen the fuel-line retention nuts on the pump with a tubing wrench turned in a counterclockwise direction. Carefully pull the fuel-inlet line and the outlet line from the fuel pump, being careful not to bend the metal lines. Have a rag handy for any fuel spills when removing the lines.3 Loosen and remove the two fuel-pump retaining bolts with a socket and ratchet. Place the bolts aside for installation of the replacement fuel pump.
4
Pull the pump straight out of the engine block and remove it from the engine bay. Scrape any gasket reside from the mounting surface of the engine block with a gasket scraper.
5
Place a new gasket over the mounting surface of the replacement fuel pump and hold it to the mounting surface on the engine block, lining up the mounting holes. Thread the original retaining bolts through the pump and into the engine block and tighten them.
6
Reconnect the fuel lines to the pump and tighten the fittings with a tubing wrench. Close the hood.

Engine runs rough,misfires& lacks power. transmission shift real slow & jeck in when driving, also idle rough

DO A LITTLE TUNE UP.REPLACE AIR FILTER - FUEL FILTER- CLEAN FUEL INJECTORS BY POURING A BOTTLE OF SEAFOAM IN A FULL TANK OF GAS - REPLACE SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES.IF ALL IS GOOD SOUND LIKE FUEL PUMP FUEL PRESSURE SHOULD BE 41 - 47 PSI. REASON I SAY DO A TUNE UP.IF EVERY THING IS WORKING PROPERLY. THAT WAY YOU WONT BUY A NEW PUMP FIRST AND SPEND EXTRA MONEY.ALL YOU NEED IS A TUNE UP WHICH WOULD BE CHEAPER ON FIRST CHOICE. WHEN I TROUBLE SHOOT I ALWAYS TUNE ENGINE UP FIRST THEN I CAN GO TO NEXT LEVEL.I TROUBLE SHOOT IN STAGES THEN I FIND PROBLEM QUICKER.

Lost power to engine

Check make sure all plugs are firing. Sounds like what my 93 Rodeo was doing-Idled okay but very rough when in gear. Turns out only 5 out of 6 plugs were firing due to a defective ignition module- 100 bucks later it works fine.

Hope this helps.

93 grand cherokee has a very rough idle what could be the problem

Also check the vaccum hose from the fuel pressure regulator to the intake manifold, it is right on top, to the front right of the valve cover where the fuel lines attach to the fuel rail, there is a small vaccum hose that runs from the regulator to the intake manifold, I have a 93 grand cherokee limited w/ 4.0L 6cyl, it was hard to start at times, wouldnt start at times without starting fluid spray and had your symptoms at idle, running rough like it wanted to stall like it was out of gas, I had various opinions ranging from fuel pump was bad to the fuel filter to the fuel presure regulator, the fuel pump relay ,etc....after replacing the relay and having the same symptoms, some digging brought me to this vaccum hose, wich had a break in it, when it was replaced it allowed the regulator to have the correct fuel pressure output and solved all the afforementioned problems way cheaper than the suggested alternitives. good luck.

Idle probs

Check your idle control valve. You might have to replace it, 80-90 bucks new. Or see if there is an air leak from the intake manifold. had the same problem.
