Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to drive with a bad fuel pump?
Continuing to drive with a weak fuel pump can lead to stalling, loss of power, or a no-start condition. If your vehicle is hesitating or shutting off, we recommend limiting driving and having it inspected. We can help you decide whether to drive in or arrange a tow.
How will you confirm my fuel pump is the problem?
We use testing rather than guesswork. Our technicians typically check fuel pressure, electrical supply, filters, and related systems before recommending replacement. By combining your description of symptoms with these results, we work to confirm that the pump is truly at fault.
Can fuel injector repair really fix rough idling?
In many cases, addressing injector issues can significantly improve rough idle and misfires. We start by confirming that injectors are the cause rather than spark, airflow, or compression problems. If injectors are to blame, cleaning or replacement often leads to smoother operation and better performance.
How long does a fuel pump or injector work take?
Timing depends on your vehicle, the exact repair, and parts availability. Some injector services may be completed the same day, while fuel pump replacement can take longer. We provide time estimates up front, keep you updated, and offer shuttle service to reduce disruption to your schedule.
What kind of warranty do you offer on fuel repairs?
Fuel system repairs at Christian Brothers Automotive Cherokee are backed by our industry-leading warranty. This warranty reflects our confidence in the quality of the parts we use and the work our technicians perform. We are happy to review the specific warranty terms for your repair before you approve any work.

FAQs
-
Q. "Why is my engine making bucking sounds when I drive?"The fuel system is a good place to investigate first whenever your engine starts to give you problems. The two most common issues we see are clogged fuel filters and damaged fuel pumps. Both of these will harm your engine if not taken care of promptly.
-
Q. "What are fuel filters?"Fuel injectors are easily clogged due to their small openings. They are susceptible to the dirt particles that your car drives through on the road. It’s important that the fuel remains clean and free of dirt so that it can be easily sent to the engine. The fuel filters ensure the fuel is protected from dirt. Typically, filters are made from a paper material that is thrown away and replaced when it becomes too dirty or worn out. Sometimes, cars will have filters that use a mesh material. These can be washed and then put back in the vehicle.
-
Q. "How do fuel filters affect the fuel pump?"Clogged fuel filters make it hard for the fuel pump to deliver gas to the engine. If the filter is blocked with dirt, the pump has to work a lot harder to pump the fuel. This will cause it to wear out and unable to perform over time.
