Took the tank off about 6 month ago when fitting the lpg tank, not a massive job really. Found a complete sender unit on the bay about £180, will try lighthouse also.

It's worth testing the pressure before spending that sort of money, I bough a test kit for less than £40.

Check 02 sensor, had a similar problem ran OK cold but acted up when hot sooty plugs missing spluttering,
new 02 sensor cured it! (front sensor)
hope this helps, good luck!

There was a fault code of upstream 02 that was cleared the other day, it hasn't re appeared since but its worth checking again, there is the one on the exhaust manifold I've never changed and the one at the cat i changed a year or so ago.

the sensor down stream of the cat is there only to check the cat is working, no real control over fuelling

If you have a fuel problem like a dodgy pump your O2 sensor will register this, the computer will try and compensate and you will get O2 sensor fault codes but changing the O2 sensor won't do anything to help.
Where are you? You can come around and use my fuel pressure tester if you're close.

The easy way to see if your O2 sensor is the problem is to unplug it. If it runs fine with the sensor unplugged, replace the sensor.

Thanks for the info chaps, plugged the box in again today and upstream 02 fault code has come up again after it was cleared Saturday so I'll unplug it tomorrow and see how it runs.

Well folks I fiited a new 02 sensor on Saturday and took the jeep out for a test drive, no hesitation on slopes in reverse or drive, no stuttering when hot, drove about 5 miles upto 50 mph and all seems well
. I'll code read it next week to double check again. The fault code was P0132 - upstream 02 high voltage.
