98 jeep xj, 4.0, auto,
just looking for a good starting point what to look for to get my jeep back up and running this is what happened...
was cruising down the road 55mph on cruise control, then it stuttered so i put my foot on the gas and it had nothing, put it to the floor and nothing happened. it was almost like it was out of gas. yes i have gas in it almost a full tank. so i pulled it to the side of the road and it stalled. tried cranking it over but it would not fire up. put it in neutral and was wiggling the shifter while trying to crank it but that didn't work.
so last night while waiting on the tow truck i was working on it. i turned the key and i could hear the fuel pump prime, i replaced the fuel pump relay/fuse, pressed the schrader valve and fuel came out. all the fuses in the pdc were working.
then i put a plug in every spark plug boot and cranked it and there was spark, i even replaced each spark plug, i tried a different rotor, the cap and plug wires are only 2 months old so there fine as i could tell nothing cracked and contacts look clean,
so i am looking for ideas what to check next, i'm thinking pulling my iac off and trying to clean it? maybe clean my throttle body out however it does not look dirty at all, maybe get a new ignition coil? Cps?
when i turn the key to prime the fuel pump then push on the schrader valve about a 1/2 once to 1 once of fuel comes out, is this normal or should that be highly pressured and more shoots out?
so any help and ideas i can get would be much appreciated thanks fellas!
