In serious need of help!
I have a 93 H.O xj for about 5 years, I absolutely love this car and have done everything in my power to keep it running. My problem started 2 years ago. One day I went to go turn on the car and it didn’t start until the 3rd or 4th try. Didn’t think nothing of since it was an old car, so then it kept happening sooner and sooner and it would also take longer to turn on, until I finally decided to take a look at why it was happening, so just to be safe I replaced the fuel pump, alternator, distributor, spark plugs/wires. And still it didn’t work, it got to a point where I gave up for a month and was seriously thinking about selling the damn car. So then i finally decided to give it another try. So this time i checked for spark and fuel, so it had spark but it didn’t have fuel coming out of the fuel rail, so i looked online and it said to change the fuel pump ballast, so i did. Still nothing. So then i read that some xj years had a one way valve either in the gas tank or somewhere in the lines I checked and even added a new one but still now fuel. So now it starts and randomly it doesn’t want to start so anywhere I am I have to get it towed home. I’m getting to that point again of wanting to sell but I really don’t want to. If you guys could point me in the right direction or have any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
