The fuel filter is location on the rail on the driver side of the jeep. Its right after the rear end. You will see the fuel lines along with the brake lines. It looks like a black can of corn. It will have two rubber hoses connection to it. hope this helps

I dont know much about Jeeps, but all you have to do is get under the truck and look for the fuel lines.Fuel lines are usually shiney so you can see them easy.They should be run on the same side your gas cap is on.You should see 2 lines,one is a return line and it will not have a filter.I get gas on my driver side and my fuel filter is under the truck almost perfectly centered with the driver side door.Good luck.

1988 Jeep Wrangler starting problems. I replaced the ignition module, spark plug wires, coil, distributor module, and my jeep will not start. It gets fuel, turns over, but still not starting. It is a 1988...

you are saying it is getting spark, and fuel, right? If it is getting spark, and fuel in to the throttle body, check compression-make sure the Mass Air Flow sensor is plugged in, and double check your spark-you say you replaced all those ignition items, but do not say that you have spark.

It does sound like a vacuum leak. Get a can of WD-40 and start spraying around the carb. It will rev up, and U can pin point the loose vacuum hose, are crack vacuum hose.

1988 jeep wrangler carb trouble

Ok... If you have any experience with carbs, you can get a rebuild kit. The most important part of any rebuild is to clean out obstructions in the passageways. Most times this can be done by using carb cleaner and spraying compressed air through them.Most times, just spraying cleaner into carb while installed is a waste of time as debris usually consists mainly of fine rust particles from inside the fuel tank, which will remain in the fuel bowl unless physically removed. If you can't do this, next best option is to search local junkyards for a similar unit. When replacing, cut the fuel line in a convenient place ahead of the carb inlet and put an aftermarket filter in the line, to prevent debris from re-entering and causing further problems. Most carbs have the adjustments blocked off. before using, it is wise to have someone who knows how to remove those plugs, do this for you so you can adjust it after installed.
Good luck

Did you check the fuel filter? Did you check pump pressure? A faulty pump or a partially plugged filter can do this. Obviously filter is the first thing... it's easy to do and is often neglected, likely overdue for service anyhow! There are other things that can also cause your problem but I'd look at the common stuff first!
Good luck
