After searching and trying different things all day, I am having no luck!
I have a 1990 with 4.0 and AW4
I was driving doun the highway, and my engine was cutting in and out. I pulled off the main road and it died and didn't start.
I popped the hood to check the infamous CPS connection. Unplugged and re-connected it with no luck.
I then unplugged and re-connected my MAP sensor and it started. As soon as I put it in gear and gave a little gas it started cutting in and out again. As soon as I stopped it died again. Tried starting...nada. Reset the MAP again and it started. Did the same thing again, except this time it won't even try to fire. I towed it to my work and have been messing with it for two days!
I am getting no spark at the coil...plenty of fuel.
I have a friend that brought me his jeep that runs fine to try parts off of.
Here's what I've tried from his:
MAP sensor
Ignition module and coil
Cap and Rotor
I have also tried:
Used CPS
Brand new CPS
Used ECU (I tested this a while ago and it's fine)
I checked my TPS with an ohm meter, and it's not shorted and gives varible resistance while slowly pressing the throttle. I would have swapped his in, but I had a small fire about a year ago that melted the connector, so I hardwired the sensor. (before I rewired it I had the occasional high idle we all love, but bypassing the connector fixed mine)
Now for the fun part...I re-installed the parts I borrowed in my buddies XJ, and now it won't start either!!! (At least he doesn't need it anytime soon, and isn't mad either..lol)
I checked the MAP connector for shorts and found none. I Checked the wired at the Ignition Module and am getting ~12v on the larger yellow, Good ground at the black. I also did an ohm test from the smaller yellow wire to the connector on the ECU.
Any more ideas??? Now I get to fix 2 Jeeps...yay
