Well after fixing my XJ's coil post-1000 mile drive from Alabama, I finally got the engine oil changed, front and rear diff fluids, plugs, wires, and a new CPS (just because)

Sorry for the late reply. Finally got moved up, not quite settled in just yet. We are buying a house in Fredericksburg (Stafford Co.) Hopefully lose by the end of the month.

Wow. It was the coil. And it had bright blue spark and all. We plugged in a msd coil just for shizandgigs and she fired up. Ran to advance and got a new coil and she's back to life. I still can't believe that it sparked just fine (so it looked) but wouldn't run on gas, just ether.

Was this problem ever solved? I am having similar issue. I have Spark, and Fuel but it will not run. Unless the cylinders and plugs are dry using starting fluid with the fuel pump relay removed.

I could not find how to test the sensors themselves but I did test the plugs going to them and all were good. Within voltage and resistance specs.

No, as I was with the understanding those were only issues on the Renix system. I will check them tomorrow as soon as I figure out which is what and how to test them.

I pulled each plug and turned it over, cleaned and dried the plugs, put it al back together (with the fuel pump relay out) spray some starting fluid in it and had it running. I ran it a few times for about 5-10 seconds. Then while it was running I plugged the fuel pump relay back in and it died...

Update: Fuel pressure hits about 47-49 when key turned on. Then drops to 45 and stays for a good while. Got a noid light and check injectors and they are pulsing. So I have spark, have fuel, have compression, but will not run. Hear no bad noises like a broken timing chain or anything. I need...

Put an old plug in one of the wires and held it on the AC compressor while a friend tried to start it. Sparks good. So we got fuel, got spark, but no run....

Well I don't have a way to test the fuel pressure at the moment. But I did spray starting fluid and that did nothing. I tried it 2 different days. Wouldn't that have fired if it was a fuel problem?

Got fuel. Got spark, not sure how much spark but it sparks. I left it in VA until I had to check into my new unit.

Well I swapped the CPS with a known working one and that did nothing. Wasn't fun in 50 degree rain on a stock height XJ.

Update : I can get it to sputter now. But it just won't run. I've done almost everything except take the fuel rail off and clean it. Any suggestions? I did some of the tests for the cps and it should be good. The cel does come on for a second when its in RUN so that's another sign it should be...

I am back in VA now. Will be working on the Jeep tomorrow. Going to have better tools this time around to check everything I did not get a chance to check.

I bought the jeep nov 4th. Battery was replaced September 2011 Battery should not be the issue because it isn't what creates spark. It turnover just fine.
