Yeah, another Autozone part went out on the jeep today. The past few times I've gone to PT I noticed a bump out of the blue but that was it, just a single burp.
Today taking off from a stop sign and going up a hill, all hell broke loose, bumping, banging, scared the day lights out of me because I had no cell service. Made it up over the hill and on the down slope, it cleared up a bit and then starts like hell again.
Water in fuel! Had to be the way it cleared up and ran strong.
Did PT, Went to autozone for some wax, on the way back, even worse! Just felt a single blip and it broke into stuttering like a mofo.
Pulled over, let it run while i pulled the air cleaner, worked the throttle and a weak stream that only would repeat itself if i pumped it hard.
Got it running fine but had to run higher rpm to keep up the fuel supply, Pulled the fuel line and turned the motor over and it took around 2-4 seconds before a single pulse of fuel came out the filter!
Filter tested out like new, easy to blow through, but the pause/gap between each fuel cycle was enough to tell me that pump is bad, with a whopping 2000 miles on it!
Called napa and they have one in stock so i'll swing by tomorrow and pick it up.
Screw this autozone ****!
While working on the fuel like, I looked at some small vacuum lines at the engine block and autozone strikes again! They were so cracked up after 6 months, one was actually cracked completely through like a tire with a blown out sidewall.
They'll be getting a nice email with pictures, along with their facebook page.
