I have a 92 XJ with the 4.0 and automatic. Friend was driving it for a week and it left him stranded. Had 12 volts to the coil but no spark. Found F15 (engine control 1) fuse blown. Replaced fuse after disconnecting electric fan thinking it was shorting. Started right up and ran for 15 minutes no problems. Started and ran several times to see if it would quit again. Brought it to operating temp each time. All was good and took off to my aunt house. Made it to 3rd stop sign waiting for opening in traffic. Approximately 1 mile. Pulled out 5 feet and it died. Same fuse blown. Im trying to track this short down but its a wiring nightmare to me. Anyone have this same intermittant short or any good ideas other than trial and error at 3.50 a fuse and a tow bill home to find this? A burned wire or rubbed one would be fairly easy to find. Unfortunately Im not seeing either of them. Ive started going through the wiring harness looking. Distribution center is in good shape with nothing touching to cause this that i can find.
