General Tech 97 tj has no spark or fuel pressure

[brandonlmb]

So I have no spark or fuel pressure in my 97 wrangler. My gauges do work, I just installed new cap and rotor, coil, relays, and cps sensor but still nothing. I have read a ton of stuff on line but with no good answers to the problem. Yes I have checked all the fuses and they all seem to be in good shape. Any thoughts or answers or even better the fix to my problem would be great.

I would have said CPS but sounds like that's a no go. That's what fixed mine when I had those symptoms. Good luck.

Thanks man! I just don't know what to do next.

Brandon, are you just down the street from me (are you on 11th West about 14xx South on the west side of the road--photography house)? Green tub with black fenders/hood?

Where did you get your CPS from? I put in an Autozone or Checker one in my XJ and spent about $1200 replacing all kinds of crap before we got back to the CPS. We installed a dealer CPS and the thing ran like a champ for another 2-3 years. I do have a fuel pressure gauge from that experience that we could use as well. The bad: I'm headed out of town until late Sat. evening again. I "think" my Monday and Wednesday evenings are free next week if that works for you.

Um close to there, I live close to the tracks. And my jeep is white with black fenders

O ya I got a checker sensor, I will go get one from the dealer in the morning.

check your Auto Shut Down Relay (ASD) that could be your problem but it also sounds like a CPS

Definatly check your auto shut down relay. It is located in the power distrubtion box. Also dont these Jeeps have that pickup module in the distrubuter under the rotor.

13th South? Your TJ sits out of the garage a fair amount of the time. Has one of those cab cover things on it?

Haha thats my jeep I recently moved into the basement for awhile. Its my eldest sisters house.

 

[gertsch]

If it was his cps shouldn't he still be getting fuel? or at least thats what i would think. Have u recently changed anything before u lost fuel and spark or did u just walk out and had nothing one day?

 

[brandonlmb]

Ya on 1300th and it lives out front until I get a garage big enough for it. I just got a new sensor from the dealer, going to go put it in a few mins. I will post if it works or not.

Ok it is running now! I installed the dealer cps sensor, and nothing but I got spark.
So I went back to the fuel pump wiring harness where it connects and a s#!t load of red
sand hollow sand ran out of there. Then it started it. Thanks guys
