i've been trying to diagnose a hard start problem...replaced IAC, TPS, cleaned T-body, CPS is good, swapped in some cleaned/rebuilt neon injectors...finally realized i'm not getting pressure on start up which leads me to believe its a bad check valve common in these newer XJs. i know its perfectly driveable as is, but it's my DD and i'd rather not have to turn the key a few times to get pressure. SO my question is:
is there any reason why a gas tank swap (w/ pump assembly) wouldn't work? i found a guy on craiglist selling a tank w/ pump for $75...i know i run the risk of that check valve going bad, but $75 sure beats a few hundred on a new pump...i figured it'd also be a whole lot easier to just swap tanks versus installing a new pump... would there be any issues in doing this?
is it as simple as dropping my tank and putting the new one in or is there more to it?
