Is there a fuel filter on a 1997 jeep wrangler sport 4.0?

Question

if so where is it located? also I am having problems with it, when it heats up to normal running temperature, it starts bucking an trying to stall, acting like its not getting fuel and I cant figure out why.

Answer 1

My fuel filter on my 1994 wrangler is in the back under behind the alternator.  I think you are having a problem with the fuel pump though.  I had this same problem.  The fuel pump is in the gas tank, so it is a pain to change.  I had a mechanic do this.  Try running some fuel injector cleaner through it, and if this doesn't help, get the pump checked.  Good luck.

Answer 2

There is technically an external filter although it functions as the filter/pressure regulator and is very seldomly ever replaced, also there is a filter attached to the bottom of the pump in the gas tank that you have to buy the pump to get. The external filter/regulator is mounted on the top of the fuelpump outside the gas tank the part# is 4798301 $114 available within a day or two from your local dealership.
