Here are the stats: 88 XJ Wagoneer with AW4 and 4.0L Renix
Here is the issue: Battery went dead. Replaced battery and now vehicle won't start. The starter turns the engine but it never cranks.
What I've already tried:
1. Reharnessed and replaced the CPS sensor (done by dealer when having rear main seal fixed 1000 miles ago) and tried reconnecting several times.
2. Vehicle has new distributor cap, rotor button, plugs and wires from a service 1000 miles ago.
3. Vehicle will turn over in both Drive and Nuetral but won't start.
4. Good new battery(Optima red top).
5. Bypassed the fuel pump ballast resistor.
6. Verified all connections to the TPS and MAP sensors and reconnected them with connector grease to make sure they were getting a good connection.
I am certain it is something simple I am forgetting after working on this beast for 8 years...but I am stuck and don't want to send my baby to the dealer again if I don't have to as they don't have alot experience of with Renix model XJ's and will tinker with mine to "find" the issue...
Help...
