Three problems related to other fuel system fuel gauge have been reported for the 1998 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In November of 2003 my husband bought me a 1998 Jeep Wrangler and about 2 weeks after driving it I discovered that the gas gauge only works when it wants to. So I started doing a little research on line and found out that 98 Wranglers had been recalled in the uk for bad gas gauges but not in the us . I was wondering why that is. And apparently there are many electrical problems with the 98s. A bad sending unit might not be a problem to other people but I work construction and spent many nights driving to work in snow storms. When they call you in to shovel snow at 2 am theres not many gas stations open.
Faulty fuel level indicator. I suspect a bad fuel sending unit. Fuel gauge shows approximately 1/4 tank of gas left, however the car will actually be completely out of gas.
1998 Jeep Wrangler 4. 0l, exhaust manifold crack at 30,000 miles. Jeep/Chrysler refused to fix, stating only catalytic converter covered under warranty. Crack occurred in a weld joining the two pipe, almost 3/4 of the way around the pipe, causing cosiderable noise, and loss of power. Guages fail periodically, but come back on there own, after a few minutes. Air conditioner drains onto floor inside vehicle on long drives and can even short out the radio. The steering column also sqeals like an old door when its cold outside.
