I searched and cannot find a decent component locator.
i know a call to the dealer parts dept can usually help.i have had success with this,cause the technicians are usually sitting in there and if the parts guy can't tell ya,he will ask a tech.

stupid question,vehicle wasn't in and or repaired from an accident was it....maybe part wasn't replaced....stupid i know ,but have ran across this with other parts....just throwing it out there...

good luck

JIM

Re: jeep help Sign In

Have you looked all over the left fender? The manufacturers have a way of hiding the parts. I have the same picture you describe and it just shows left front fender. It might be under the air box. Mine seems to show it to be close to the radiator cross support. Here is my location.






Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

Re: jeep help Sign In

i was thinking the same. i had the jeep last week and am going to look at it again this week.
thanks for the idea am also going to the junk yard to check on another 98... why is it that
problem on certain cars are a one year only build. i always work on them. lol
i do this on the side i was a tech. at a garage long time ago and stopped doing
it cause it sucks good money but people and cars just suck. Now i just work on family

Re: jeep help Sign In

way2old i followed the hoses from the gas tank to the sensor ( the top one in the picture) to the carcoal canaster
and at the intake so i don't think that i could be something under the air filter houseing but its true they do like to
hide parts in funny or should i say dumb spots. Thanks again for the help..

Wink just to fill you in found the problem. the computer was changed i think with a 97 to 96 year. Those years have the pump 98 is a one year think lucky me. So i added the pump cheaper then the computer. So i want to thank you and Jim for the help.
