Alright so I did a bit of searching and couldnt find anything that would point to my problem.
Heres a little history on the car.
2000 xj 171k
Recently converted from 2wd to 4wd.
Was told the trans had a newer CPS. Shortly after car was experiencing a rough motor running, (barely fired and ran without stalling). Had misfire code on all 3 coils. Traced to bad Cam PS, then car ran great!
I would say it still always had HARD starts.
And sometimes would not start at all until a long period of cranking, while at 100% throttle.
Yesterday hit a snow bank a little hard in 2wd, and then tried to muscle it out in 2wd, (I was flooring and spinning the crap out of the open rear end). Got it out but the car stalled when I got off the gas (has happened before plenty of times after a high RPM tire spin) and would not start again.
Cranks forever but again would not start and had it towed to my house.
Today checked:
Fuel pressure- While cranking 49 psi
40 psi off the key, about 3 minutes to under 10 psi.
TPS- replaced with new just to be sure, no help I reinstaleld the OE.
KPS (w/ entire new cam synchronizer)- new quality napa parts as always.
CPS- new'er' according to donor car owner.
battery- very good deep cycle, holds 14V while off.
Checked over all the connections and everything appeared to be tight and fully connected. Tried to check spark but I think I couldnt get a good ground with the pos tester I have.
Will not start at 0% throttle, 50% throttle or 100% throttle.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I really thought it would be a fuel pump or TPS but everything is pointing away from that?
