I have a 90 XJ all stock that I use as a daily driver and I washed down the the battery side of the engine compartment and now it will crank fine but no start. I started it up afterwards and it ran for about 30 sec and completely died.
So I checked for fuel and pressure is fine and pulled spark plug and there was fuel on it, so the injectors are firing. But no spark. Checked the resistance on the coil and the secondary resistance was somewhat low and the primary resistance jumped around when I moved the coil around. So that seems a little suspect.
Now I also checked out the CPS because I know that can be a major cause of no starts and the sensor checked out with all the tests but I checked the ground and there is very high resistance from the white wire ground at the sensor to the negative cable. Checked and cleaned the grounds and they seem okay. So I checked for continuity from the ground wire at the sensor to the ECU and its good so now I am suspecting the ECU's ground possibly.
Any ideas and thoughts would be greatly appreciated because I am fast running out of idea's myself.
