Need Help: Jeep Died on me

AD-8 · Jun 29, 2007

I was driving my jeep yesterday, not hot rodding it or anything when it all the sudden just spuddered out. I tried to crank it up again and it just turned over for a few seconds then backfired. The fuel pump was charging up, soo I'm guessing its an ignition problem, any one have any other ideas? BTW its an 88 cherokee manual w/ 4.6 stroker.

You guess it was ignition???? Was there fuel pressure on the rail? Have you checked the wiring for the CPS?

gas in your jeep?

AD-8 · Jul 1, 2007

Yes the jeep has gas. I pulled a plug and it's not getting spark. What should I check/ replace?

Check the CPS first. Then if that plug is clean and tight then I would check that you have 12v to coil.

see if your getting 6volts to the coil, then check to make sure your coil is good. If you arnt getting 6 volts to the coil it prolly the cps. If your coil is working properly i would check your cap and rotor and plugs/ wires

Thought the coil got a full 12 volts not just 6 volts. Am I wrong and if I am what drops the voltage down to 6?
