93' 4.0 with 127K, AW4, NP231, stock except for ford fuel injectors.
came out this morning to warm up the jeep and it turned over and started for maybe a second, then died. pumped the pedal a bit and tried again with the same result.
haven't done any work on it in the past 1000 miles, so i don't think i bumped something (unless it happened while driving.. IE potholes...)
bypassed ballast resistor by jumping the two lines together - no change
about to go switch the relays around to see if that is it.
other research so far tells me i need to buy a fuel pressure tester (advance and autozone don't rent, does anyone??) so that i can verify fuel pressure.
other than that, i replaced the plugs (champion truck plugs), wires, and rotor and button about 1500 miles ago and that stuff is in good shape.
i have had some intermittent issues with el-cheapo $40 walmart battery that is only 2 yrs old... so i will also try jumping it as well. connections have been renewed and cleaned recently. grounds the same.
other than testing fuel pressure, any other advice for me? i guess i could verify spec on the CPS, however, i was under the impression that CPS failure (at least at cold) was a go/no go, which makes it an unlikely suspect.
thanks for your time!
