i have a 1996 xj 4.0ho. i have no spark so i pulled the dist cap and the rotor will not budge. what would cause the rotor to not move is my question. any info would be great.
If the shaft seized in the distributor housing the pin will shear. Pull the distributor, and it if turns ok, and the gear isn't loose, more than likely it's the timing chain or a broken camshaft. Or the gear on the camshaft stripped, which means a new camshaft. But I've only seen that once.
If the distributor looks ok, pull the valve cover and see if all the pushrods move.
only reason i put into modified is because people respond here. thanks for all the info. accually i found that a motor mount broke and pressed the dist up against the block and cracked the housing. it being pressed up against the housing caused it not to turn.
