About three weeks ago, the jeep would die on hard right hand turns, but would restart itself, and keep going on its merry way. It seemed to only happen with less than a 1/4 tank of gas in it. Well, it did it again this week, except this time it didn't restart itself. It cranks and cranks, but doesn't start. I went ahead and replaced the fuel pump because of the weird symptoms of turning right and less than a 1/4 tank, but that didn't fix the problem. So, I checked the spark, and it has no spark at the spark plugs. I did not check the spark at the coil though. I figured it was the usual CPS, but after replacing that, it still just cranks and cranks, but does not fire. I'm running out of options here, and I don't want to just throw parts at it.
The only other things that I can think of that it might be would be an ignition coil, ECM, or a short or something in the wiring. The problem seemed to only happen on hard right hand turns, with less than a 1/4 tank of gas, but it only happened three times, and the third time it did not start back up. The check engine light came on for second when it died, but it turned back off after trying to restart it, and I couldn't get any codes from it. I noticed on attempting to start it, all the lights come on on the guage cluster, except the check engine light, and none of the guages register anything, but the odometer lights up just fine. My gas reads nothing, voltage nothing, and engine temp didn't read anything even when the engine was still hot after it stalled.
Its a '98 XJ, 4.0L, AW4, and 238,000 miles on it. Help me out guys, I'm stumped. Thanks in advance.
