Changing Fuel Filter 99-04 Jeep Grand Cherokee

[@austindraper485]

The details in this video are amazing enough that I was numbering and writing down all the steps. Been working on vehicles for years and you still made a pretty simple task become even easier. I've watched hundreds of vehicle repair how to videos and this video was the first video over 5 minutes that i didnt skip back and forth at all. You are truly a mechanics life saver.

[@martinbuilt]

Thank you, I really appreciate that, glad you liked it!

[@snowywispdh6486]

I am that person with 0 experience - changed my first fuel filter ever (it was on my 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which I will drive 'til the rust finally wins). The detailed help with the 'clips' more'n likely saved me breaking something or cussin' something (well, more than I did).

[@martinbuilt]

I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@gregbaugher333]

This Filter has the Pressure regulator inside of it. I replaced my filter and about a month later I was having problems with the car as it would stop running. A mechanic said I needed a new fuel pump. He replaced it for me as I didn't want to do it myself. Has the same problem, the car would stall out and not restart. Turned out to be the pressure regulator inside this filter. I DIDN'T NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP THAT SITS INSIDE THE GAS TANK...Check the gas pressure before you pay for a part you don't need. Hope this helps save you some money and headaches. I'm glad he pointed this out. Most people don't know this. I didn't and I have owned Jeeps for 50 years.

[@farerse]

so your NEW filter had a bad FPR inside it?

[@RebelRob34]

What sucks is you will never know if the mechanic was Fing you or didn't know what the issue was.

[@rayros215]

Hey, just wanted to thank you for the video. My 2003 grand Cherokee, 6 inline engine, was going thru long cranking periods, I had to constantly hit the gas pedal to start it up. Did some research and many ppl stated it could be the Fuel Filter / Regulator, so I decided to replace it. I followed your video instructions and the car starts up with no problem. I greatly appreciate everyone that takes their time to upload these great videos. by the way, I ordered the Mopar brand, because I read a lot about the AutoZone brands just having too many issues. Yes, it's $89. as opposed to $45, but it offers me peace of mind that I will not have to be doing it anytime soon, God willing.

[@virgiltoepfer7087]

Finally! Somebody who knows how to navigate the video and fully explains detailed processes. Thank you sir.

[@martinbuilt]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful.

[@robertbush3947]

I agree with David K., this is an excellent video. All details are shown plus more. Saved me a lot of time and money. Thank you for taking the time to make and share it with others.

[@martinbuilt]

Robert, David and everyone else, Thanks for the kind words.

[@don9598]

Great video on how to replace the fuel filter. One of the best how to video's I have seen. Will be replacing my filter this week on my 03 Grand Cherokee.Thanks

[@martinbuilt]

Thank you I really appreciate that I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful. Good luck with your fuel filter change out.

[@sl7v11n]

Wish I had seen your video 3 days ago, took me a while to change my fuel filter, that 1 connection didn't wanna let go, eventually I got it done, I will be watching your videos from now on for any installs and modifications, keep up the great work my man!

[@tomfoolery8640]

great detail. my 2003 just dies without warning. 70mph died, pulled over and restart. had to use starting fluid one time to get it to start, ran fine then again a couple days later died again at a stop light, was able to get it to start by pumping the gas peddle. going to replace fuel pressure regulator, fuel filter and fuel pump. 220,000 miles on it. thanks for posting.

[@egorich2316]

Martin, danke. Mit großer freude schaue ich mir all deine videos an, kämpfe mit dem Wunsch, alles auf einmal zu sehen. Ich war immer verwirrt über die geringe größe des filterelements. Das betanken mit minderwertigem kraftstoff macht es genauso unbrauchbar wie ein Druckregler. Es hat hohe kosten. Ich habe einen kompromiss gefunden, vor einem normalen filter habe ich einen filter mit großem volumen und geringeren kosten installiert, indem ich ein kraftstoffrohr mit anschlüssen hinzufüge. Kraftstoffiltertyp: Typ Bosch 0450 905 316; Mann WK 512; Mahle KL 84. Jetzt ist der druckregler sicher und dient sehr lange. Alles Gute.

[@drewmichael6]

So happy you cut the filter open.. just explains why our jeep won't start but we still hear the pump

[@martinbuilt]

are you hearing the pump or is it the fuel pressure regulator in the filter. They are known to be noisy. If it is the FPR change the filter.

[@darrylfinley9369]

The man, the myth, the Martin. I watched this multiple times before I even started and the replacement went pretty smooth. Thanks Brotha

[@gregbaugher333]

In my 2000 Jeep Grand, 4.7 engine, the filter also has a pressure regulator in it and most mechanics don't know this. I paid a guy to install a new fuel pump which required the gas tank to be removed and re-installed and was back the next day with only 24 lbs of pressure to the engine. I didn't need a new pump, I had replaced the filter a week earlier and the problem was the pressure regulator. I spent more money than I needed to, having a new pump installed when all I needed was a new filter/regulator as the one I bought at Aito Zone was faulty from day one. I have stopped buying sensors and this item from after market places. They cost more at the dealer but they last longer and work better. Just thought I would share this with you in the hope of saving you a headake. 4 years ago was when I had a new pump installed and then the pressure regulator the next day as the pump was not the problem and now I am having to replace the aftermarket pressure regulator again as the one my mechanic installed an aftermarket one and it failed 4 years later. As you can see from this video, it's not in an easy place to get to and a pain to do. Hope this helps you save money, time and a headake.

[@ricardorobinson7332]

Greg, my jeep which is also a 4.7 V8, will start but as soon as I ease off the pedal the engine cuts off, is this also a regulator problem? Rick..

[@MrUnknownUser01]

Thanks for the great video. Your explanations and extra detail made the job a lot easier. I'd like to recommend that when trying to remove the difficult connector with the slide-in collar that the collar be cleaned with brake cleaner, sprayed with silicon lubricant, and then use a pair of Harbor Freight long reach hose grip pliers to press the collar in. The nose of the pliers is placed behind the sliding collar and form a circle around the pipe. As pressure is applied the pliers push the collar in evenly from all directions. I was then able to pull the connector off easily this way. Hope this works for others.

[@Treebeard-Adventures]

This is the first Video of yours I’ve seen. This is the most clear cut informative video I’ve seen anyone sharing mechanical fixes on vehicles ever. . Thank you. I’m about to change this thing out. So helpful. Not one detail left out! I hope you have a video of more common WJ problems.

[@robertgelley6454]

Far and away the most thorough and well defined, no-nonsense videos ever. So many others talk about this that and the other... with my ADD, I lose attention and Ive lost interest. OR you have to skip into 5 minutes of the video to get to the good stuff. Not with Martin, you are into the meat of the video in no time at all! And you cover every aspect of the subject thoroughly! Excellent videos Martin!

[@martinbuilt]

Thank you, Robert! I appreciate that.

[@GarySmythe]

Thanks for the excellent video! I had my 04 grand cherokee towed to the dealer a couple days ago to have the starter replaced and a pinion seal replaced in the rear differential. While it was there I asked the service advisor to replace the inline fuel filter in front of the gas tank. She said it only had a filter in the tank! I told her I saw something there that looked like a fuel filter and would like it replaced. She said she would have it looked at but sure there was no filter there. I said, Okay check it out for me and let me know what you find out. She came back to me after the mechanic checked it out and sure enough it was a fuel filter. They wanted $200+ to replace it!!! $620.00 for an after market starter and to put the pinion seal in! I bought the pinion seal from them about a year ago $45.00 so that was not part of the $620.00. Dealer work is expensive but they do have a lot of overhead to cover.

[@derekcapron5718]

Honestly man really dig the depth of your videos. I have a 2001 WJ I am trying to milk as long as I can and your videos have helped out.

[@hechavarria100]

This video is very cool my mechanic had a slight problem in removing the filter, he didn’t want to damage anything, he looked at your video and done. It took him like 8 minutes in and out.😱🤯❤️👌

[@martinbuilt]

Rafa Hechavarria that's awesome glad to hear that!

[@curtisalan4402]

My tough one needs replaced, watching this I realize I can cut the line and go to the vice with it!!! Thank for your time sir

[@martinbuilt]

I personally wouldn't cut the line being that it is under 60 psi. Could make it hard to seal backup with fuel line in clamps. Thank you for watching.

Great video. The WJ manual says that these shouldn't be serviced regularly. But looking at that nasty filter and fuel on the paper plate, I can see why you would want to do it. Thanks for the step by step illustration!

Good video, very thorough. I wish I had it on a lift because it is very awkward reaching up there. I also had a difficult time removing that last line as you did, but this video definitely helped me prepare for everything I would need to tackle it. Wear safety glasses for sure. Thank you.

[@greglewis8752]

Many years ago I bought a used 2001 Grand Cherokee that always started hard the first start of the day. I determined it was a bad checkvalve allowing fuel pressure to bleed off after standing for several hours. I thought it was on the fuel pump and finally sold the GC. NOW I find out a new fuel filter would have fixed it. :)

[@martinbuilt]

Now you need to find yourself another JGC. Thank you for watching. 😎👍

[@edgardorojas4693]

Awesome presentation, thanks for the demonstration, you was very precise pointing out the procedure on how to change a fuel filter. My Jeep is a 2000 Grand Cherokee Limited and I had it for 13 years and have never attempted to change the filter which I purchased like 3 years ago. I’m afraid I may break something in the process which may cost me more, do appreciate your video, thanks

Best video man. Thank you so much. I had the same connections on my 99 WJ. Got gas all over me but got the job done.

Excellent tips. Mine was exactly what he did. Very precise details and emphasis on connectors. Well done!

[@scottjohnson6455]

Thanks. Before watching your video I didn't even know where the filter was or what it looked like. I ordered a new filter online and got it he next day. Had it replaced in about 30 minutes. Disconnecting the fuel lines was really aggravating but I was ready for that. At least I knew what I had to do and just kept working at it. And the best part is the fuel filter was the problem. Smooth acceleration now.

[@martinbuilt]

Glad to hear it all worked out.

Martin, thank you for taking the time to post this detailed video. It's really nice to know what exactly you're dealing with before trying to tackle a job like this. Knowing how the fittings worked was the most valuable part of this video. Thank you for taking the extra time to go in to detail at your bench to show how they worked and the best way to take them apart. Have a safe and enjoyable day.

Tremendous job with this how-to video. Extremely helpful. Thanks a million.

[@markhanson8366]

Nice work explaining all the components and what to expect. I ended up removing the RR wheel even thought it was on jack stands under the rear axle. Instead of lying on my back, I was able to sit on a bucket and wrestle with the fittings. Note: great advice to remove the FPR bracket bolts--allowed easier handling and compression of the fittings. Compressed air always your friend to remove the grit that can inhibit the plastic clip movement. Thanks for posting!

[@markhanson8366]

Edit: LR not RR wheel D'oh!

[@jesusadrianperez2234]

Good looking out man ! I just saved myself a couple bucks. Keep these videos coming bro...

[@Taydrum]

Thanks for this! took me 30 minutes with your help. For me, putting back on the one line by itself required some clip adjustment, by pulling the tabs out slightly so it wouldn't leak. Maybe that helps someone else...

[@benjaminredington2905]

Thank you for making this video - awesome camera work, no nonsense, extra info about those dastardly plastic clips no one wants to learn the hard way. I need to replace a leak in the "difficult one" hose, and it is great to know to pull the thing down and that I would need a special ring to get it apart. I will replace the filter anyway so will not bother, but will make note of which type I put back in there!

[@martinbuilt]

Glad you found it helpful.

[@LuisManuelHdez]

Great vid. I'm no mechanic, but started doing little things like this on my 05 JGC to save some $$.

[@darkoverlord56]

This is extremely detailed, and I really appreciate it. I have a 2000 JGC with the 4.7. I bought it with a misfire, and I’ve replaced the plugs, coils, crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, injectors, and the connectors on the injectors. I’m still getting a misfire on cylinders 4/8. My only guess is that maybe the filter is clogged and there’s not enough fuel coming into the rail. I’m replacing the filter today.

[@jat-justamaturetech-philpj8285]

Did that fix it??

[@darkoverlord56]

@@jat-justamaturetech-philpj8285Nope. I sold it because it was either a computer or wiring issue, and I don't have the patience to deal with that. It had a ton of other issues anyway. Missing driveshaft, shot suspension, AC didn't work, etc.

[@tsmith578]

Hey Martin. ,,. I had sent you a message a while back about my son in-law having issues with the blower motor staying on and the climate control not working correctly in his 2002 Grand Cherokee , and you had said at that time you didn't have any experience with one of those. Well I'm not sure if you have the auto climate control system in your WJ , but I I figured just in case you do you may be interested,. That the issue was the resistor module under the passenger side of the dashboard, it controls the blower motor speed,. It actually does it by sending pulses to the module from the climate control panel. My son in-law had tried a couple of cheaper after market resistor modules and they only lasted for a couple of months before going bad and having the same issues. I installed a original style one from Crown Jeep parts,. And I also installed a toggle switch to turn off the power supply going to the module so he can stop the power supply when the vehicle is not in use, Because I discovered that the power supply which comes from the fuse box under the hood that operates the resistor module is constantly powering up the module even when the ignition switch is turned off, And I believe that is the reason why many people with the automatic climate control system has issues. I know I could have rewired the circuit in the fuse box to a switched circuit off the keyed ignition switch. But he mainly just drives the jeep to and from work, , and I mounted the toggle switch right on the center console for easy reach., And it was very easy to install with only a couple feet of wire between the switch and the power supply at the module under the dashboard. If you do happen to need a blower model in the future, the one from Crow seems to be the best one, it runs the fan much better than any of the other ones that we have used. Hope this can help you out some time, or maybe you can use this information to help a friend. Tim from Wisconsin.

[@jeffbilyard7848]

Hello great video I need to change my fuel filter now. I noticed you raise the jeep and put the jack stand under the frame instead of the axle does that give you more room to access to filter

[@armiegonzalez8033]

Very well done. To the point and very descriptive. Made my DIY a breeze

[@zumadale]

All parts stores list a FUEL FILTER...separate from PRESSURE REGULATOR! The fuel filters are cheaper for some reason...I think the filter only ones are the noisy ones! Wonder why OReillys...Autozone and NAPA all list two different filters...one called a regulator...the other...just a filter? My fuel pressure was over 60psi...until I got a pressure regulator one installed! Now the pressure is within specs and no whining. If you install an after market filter/regulator...it pays to hook up a fuel pressure gauge during each oil change to make sure the fuel pressure is within specs! Mine was 60psi plus...it whined like crazy on cold mornings.....at 60psi my injectors were dumping extra fuel into the engine and coating the inside of the exhaust pipe with black soot...not good!

[@martinbuilt]

That is not correct there are 2 different filters. one for the earlier model WJ and 1 for the later both early and late have a regulator inside the filter. I got mine from autozone and has been working great and it is quiet.

[@zumadale]

@@martinbuilt No...you're wrong. Look the parts up on ANY parts store website dude. Different part numbers for filters vs pressure regulators. Why different part numbers if they are the same. Believe what you want....I'm a career aircraft mechanic. Hook up a pressure tester and tell me what it reads.

[@martinbuilt]

@@zumadale both read 58 psi the differance is the mount on the filter.

[@zumadale]

@@martinbuilt my 2001 GC needs 45-50psi fuel pressure....59psi would be too high...i was getting 62psi with a cheap fuel filter type. The mounts are the same on the 2001 for the filter and the pressure regulator. Why in the world would parts stores list filter differently from regulator? Blew me away when I noticed that! Now that have the REGULATOR installed...pressure is perfect and no more noise.

I had to rip the plastic part on my inlet side. The black circle piece. Is there just a replacement part just for that? Or can I just put the fuel line back on the filter without it? It's the style line that has the 4 metal tongs on the inside of it. Which would click on the fuel filter. If I could get just the plastic piece that sits in there I rather get that. I have the square ones. But a square one obviously won't fit that part of the fuel line.

In your video with your changing the fuel filter you diagnose the fuel rail on both your XJ and your WJ I see that you have the thermal rap on the xjs fuel rail but you don't have 1 on the wj's fuel rail. I myself have looked for some thermal rap for the wj 4.7 but couldn't find it. One of my questions is is there anything that you could use to wrap the fuel rail and the WJ for the same effect is it already has excessive heat issues existing on the 4.7. one of my other questions is have you ever heard of a duners upgrade for the 4.7? It was the name of the man that originally did this upgrade on a Dakota 4.7 where he took to fuel rails and connected them with a fuel line, I believe from two of the pieces that have before connected to then and 80 between them we're both Banks would get equivalent fuel pressure is from the fuel rail and spend the same amount of time over the engine exposed to heat and decrease the odds of inconsistent temperatures and behavior with misfires. Could you possibly do a video on this I bet your viewers would highly appreciate it. I bet that upgrade would probably go viral as well.

I personally have never had a problem with my WJ. But my xj has been giving me problems for years with heat soak, and that is why I wrapped the fuel rail on it. Here is a link to a product that should work well on a fuel rail. amzn.to/3NwuBnP I personally don't believe in that modification where you split the fuel rail to make the pressure equals on both sides. There's no way the pressure is any less on the far side fuel rail. You gotta remember that only one fuel injector fires at a time.

Hi Martin. So which filter did you use on your list? 2000 wj 4.0

[@RBTrujillo1]

Great video! This helps me tremendously! Thank you!

[@captainbarbossa8616]

Very good detail oriented video. Thank you.

I replaced my fuel filter on my 01 G/C and the loud annoying severe whistle appeared. Drove the vehicle for a while checked my connections all normal except for the whistle. I replaced the new filter with a Mopar filter and that cured it. After some research i was amazed how common this was. If i could manipulate the whistle sound i could have made the jeep sound like The Jetsons.

[@martinbuilt]

Yes this is somewhat common with inexpensive filters. I've been lucky so far with my Auto Zone filter.

Hi Martin. Where is the fuel pressure regulator on a 2000 4.0 wj? I have a 2000 wj 4.0 I just replaced my fuel injectors with a 4 hole from a one hole, now im getting a code po172 and po175 bank 1 and 2 oxygen sensors, system too rich. Would this be normal for the ECM to reset for the new injectors after driving a bit, or is my fuel pressure regulator not adjusting to the new injectors? I replaced my fuel filter 2 years ago. Not sure if its a regulator fuel filter type?? I don't get how the regulator can go bad after replacing the injectors overnight?

[@johnsabaku2257]

Great video, thanks for showing us the insides of the fuel filter. Please help. I had my WJ fuel filter replaced and now I get fuel splatter in the exhaust and MAP sensor high voltage P0108. Could you help explain possible problems please?

[@martinbuilt]

This could be a vacuum leak at the intake, a fault of the MAP sensor, or the PCM. If you have a scanner with live data, then you could check the MAP with engine off. At sea level it should be around the 1.5V. You could check the value while moving the wiring and see if there is any change. If voltage with engine off is far from 1.5V, then probably the MAP sensor is fault or the ground connection is bad. Most likely a bad map sensor.

[@johnsabaku2257]

@@martinbuilt Thanks. Just got a multimeter, I'll test the MAP sensor wires. I've replaced the MAP sensor 2x. I sprayed carb cleaner around the intake for a quick vacuum leak check but it was ok, no change in idle.

[@johnsabaku2257]

MAP was reading right. There was a fuel injector stuck open. But the manifold vacuum pressure issue turned out to be something supper simple and not easily detectable. It was the small bit of hose between PCV and the line. It was too soft. When under acceleration, the hose sucked itself closed and restricted pressure, MAP went out of range and engine bogged down, super rich mix. Crazy things happening to my WJ

Thanks sir I definitely got to change mine on my 2002 jeep grand Cherokee limited 4.7ho great video

[@martinbuilt]

Glad it helped

[@aphumphries8271]

Another Great video. But, what I want to know is: Is there any effective fix to the EXTREMELY POOR air conditioning Cooling & airflow) of the 1999 - 2004 (WJ) GRAND Cherokee? I have had 4 of these and the A.C. is universally poor. I am looking g for am Upgrade to the,AC.heatet squirrel cage fan for MORE airflow. And a MORE EFFECTIVE Condenser. I know about the door problem. That is/has not been the problem. This vehicle us good for me for 5 more years IF the A.C. could be fixed. Thank you

[@martinbuilt]

I have only had the one WJ and live in Las Vegas where it is 100+ every day for at least 3 months and can not complain about the A/C, no problems so far.

[@orlandoreillo20]

I have been watching all kinds of videos and are very helpful and money saver but why have no one make a video on a easy way to remove or tighten the antenna on the fender on 2002 jeep grand Cherokee limited

[@calebvaz]

Great video! Everything was explained thoroughly.

[@brah2327man]

I just got a aftermarket fuel filter microgard on mines and now it makes a whining noise ever heard of that

[@martinbuilt]

Yes I have. It is the fuel pressure regulator. I would see if you can exchange it. The only problem with less expensive filters. So far mine has given me no problem.

[@josenieves7185]

Hi I just did main and I have whining noise too so my question is what did you do ?

[@martinbuilt]

@@josenieves7185 unfortunately I've heard of this before and it is a poor quality fuel filter I would exchange it for another.
