1997 Jeep xj sport 4.0. I’ve run out of ideas. Had a piston explode in my old motor so I swapped in a block and kept my old head and all accessories including the distributor. Messed with the timing for a while and finally got it to where I believe it’s suppose to be (right after 1 position on tdc compression stroke). Has good blue snapping spark and good fuel pressure. I did a noid light test and can smell fuel after cranking. Replaced crank sensor, tps, ignition coil, rotor button, spark plugs, and the head. No fuses are blown. Has strong crank and sounds like it wants to start but won’t. Any advice?
