Well I've posted various questions before but here is the whole story. Bought an 88 wagoneer limited MPI 4.0 and when I bought it it would only start on starting fluid. It would run but it poured white smoke so I checked the oil and found coolant thought it was a head gasket. So I put in a complete engine gasket kit, changed the oil and coolant, replaced the CPS, MAP, Coolant Temp sensor, coil, distributor cap, spark plugs and wires, bypassed the ballast resistor, fuel filter, new injectors, injector O-rings, all brand new parts. So after all that it wouldn't even start on starting fluid so I checked compression (Cylinder 1: 116, Cylinder 2: 129, Cylinder 3: 120, Cylinder 4: 125, Cylinder 5: 129, Cylinder 6: 120) seemed like good compression, checked fuel pressure (39 @ rail) good pressure so its not the pump, got good spark at the coil and plugs, still no go. So I buy a new right side wiring harness (one for injectors and sensors) and install that along with another computer ( I have three at this point) still nothing. So I let is sit for about a month then I go out and try to start it and absolutely nothing happens no power when I turn the key so I thought it was the battery...............new battery still nothing no power when I turn the key and no turn over. So I touch the two poles with a screwdriver on the starter to bypass the ignition and it just winds the starter motor and doesn't actually turn the engine over. So I get another starter and put it in and it does the same thing. I can't think of anything else it can be and I'm about to loose my mind over this thing I've searched and searched for the solution but have nothing. Can anyone help me with this at all?
