How can you tell if your Jeep Liberty fuel pump is going out?
The only way that you are going to know that your Liberty’s fuel pump is going out is that it is no longer providing enough fuel pressure to keep the engine running under a heavy load, or at high-speed. Typically, if you are heading up a hill (or accelerating) the engine may start to feel like it is just running out of steam.
Why is the fuel pump in the fuel tank?
It is in the fuel tank because “pushing” fuel to the fuel rail is easier than “pulling” the fuel, which is what an inline pump would do. While being in the fuel tank makes the pump more reliable, it also makes it a lot more difficult to get to. The good news is that fuel pumps are inexpensive.

If not, there is a bad wire under the fuse block to the battery; it should have constant power at one terminal. Take off the air cleaner and hold the throttle plate open with your hand. Spray some carburetor cleaner into the throttle body. Try to start the car for 2 seconds. If it starts, the fuel pump is the problem.
