118 for the hookup, and 4 a mile. it's usually 88 for the hookup, but off highway is more expensive. can you just fix it where it sits?
Sandbox Sailor:
OK, I found a place that took $75 (my last $75 until payday btw). Now that it is home, I am pretty sure it is my feul pump. That is what I get for buying a 20 year old car. I am at exactly the point where all the s@&t starts failing: starter, fuel pump, I am guessing alternator next. So now I have to track down my fuel problem...
calvynandhobbs:
I leave work and run a few errands on the way home and missed all of this. I'm glad you got the XJ back to the house. Looks like the starter only helped for a day.
Sandbox Sailor:
OK, so how do I figure out if it is the fuel pump or the fuel filter?? I am sure it will be the pump because that will cost about $100 ($82 for the pump, and another $12 for the strainer to validate the warranty). If it is just the filter that is only $12, and that is not how my luck runs. But on a good note, my starter is cranking the engine like a bear! :-\

hit the tank with a hammer while someone cranks it, if it starts it's the pump
