Thanks joe.Will do.

Thanks for the info.I did disconnect the battery cable first thing when the engine started for the first time to reset the computer.That didn't help.The crank sensor had a metal bracket that the first person working on it left off.After doing some research,I found that the bracket was needed for...

Today I mounted the new coil and mounted the little bracket on the crankshaft sensor that was left off the first time the crankshaft sensor was mounted.And now after about two weeks,The engine started up.Now the engine runs,But very badly It backfires like timing off and has no power.Now my code...

Does anyone know If the metal bracket that the crank sensor bolt goes through has to be used to allow the crank sensor to work.Or it is for the harness .I mounted the new coil today,Still no spark.I am going to test the plug going to the coil with a test light tomorrow.Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the information.Although A parts house checked my coil and said it was good,My uncle has a 1997 gc and has the same coil.He took my coil and mounted to his motor and the coil would not fire.I have a new coil on the way.I also received my chiltons book on the 1996 jeep gc that should...

Today I used a INNOVA OBD 11 CODE READER with hopes of finding out what is keeping the coil from firing.When I connected the OBD plug to the plug on the vehicle,The tester turned on by itself.Maybe it is supposed to do that.But the the book that came with the OBD says to manually turn it on...

I found something else going on today.I removed the ground battery cable and cleaned it and when I was reinstalling it,I noticed that something is pulling quite a bit of voltage with everything electrical turned off in the vehicle.Not a few amps like the radio would pull,But more like the...

Thanks for the Information Kastein.I had an older oscilloscope,But gave it to a friend of mine.I can borrow it and maybe check the coil primary.Thanks for all the help..

I believe I checked the coil trigger signal going on the coil plug several days ago and the meter read about 4 volts.I don't know If the coil requires 12 volts or 4 volts was right.I will check that voltage reading again today.I'm not sure how to check the coil trigger signal from the pcm.I have...

Thanks,Will check that out tomorrow..

Thanks,Will check it out..

I am not getting a spark from the coil.The crank shaft sensor and the module in the dist is new.The last coil I tried came off a running engine.I had the original coil checked at an auto parts store and they said it check good.He checked the primary and secondary windings with an ohm meter.

This is my first post,So I hope I don't mess it up.I have a 1996 grand cherokee for about a year now.It has ran great until a couple of days ago.I was parking it and The engine just quit.Hasn't started since.It is 4x4 automatic and has the 4.0 inline 6 cyl engine.I am getting no spark from the...
