I've scoured the "search" modes, and haven't seen all of this asked or answered. My 98 4.0 5-spd has a hard start, many, many cranks, but it always pops eventually. * But if fuel level is below about 1/4, it also hesitates when turning left and accelerating hard (across a highway, etc.). My initial guess is fuel pressure regulator/fuel pump (140k) but i don't have access to a pressure tester, and I KNOW it's a PITA to replace the fuel pump in the tank (w/the DC skid plate on tank). I saw some conflicting data here and want to know before I dig into a tank pull. Is the Fuel Pressure Regulator in or around the fuel pump as well? if it is, I'm SOL.
BTW - I say 97/98 because I have a new/rebuilt (o miles) 98 motor in my 97. But it did this on both, so it's not anything to do w/the motor.
What is a guesstamite $ cost on this? I've heard factory is the only way to go with the pump/filter.
TIA!
