Where to begin, where to begin...
my 1999 Cherokee XJ with 187,000miles has been running great for the past year and I was coming off the highway 2 weeks ago and she died right when i came to the light. I have not been able to start the XJ since. I've checked fuel pressure and checked to see if the injectors are working (both are good).
The XJ turns over very well and sounds like it wants to start, but just doesn't.
Next step was checking spark. I checked the spark and it was yellow-orange colored. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor just as a precautionary repair to see if that was the issue. It did not fix it.
I next replaced the distributor cap and rotor as well as the spark plug wires. After replacing those three things related to spark, i have no spark at all. i double checked by putting a spark plug on the wire coming off the ignition coil, still no spark.
So I checked the input connector on the ignition coil to make sure it was getting power and yes it was getting ~12 volts. I replaced the ignition coil and there is still no spark.
I also cleaned up the ground points on the firewall and dipstick area.
I'm at a loss of what to do next. Any input would be much appreciated! thank you all! :bawl:
