Yeah..this is really making me run around in circles trying to find out whats actually causing this.. runs like nothing is wrong, then just wont start after driving around..but cranks everytime. other post i find all have something else, like a really bad rough idle or stalling or something.. i...

what could it be if i'm not getting spark while trying to crank? I tested with an in-line spark plug tester and when cranking, it wont even light up.

Yes, it cranked in both.

Today, stopped to get gas. Temp gage was close to 210, i want to say maybe around 190-200, after getting gas i try to start, and just cranks. Which i wasn't surprised. I did leave my aux fan running while i went to pay and pump, when the temp got at and below that first line it didn't start...

Someone else mentioned heat soak, i fount the thread on here. sounds about the same as mine. I'm looking into a timer, my aux fan is already aftermarket and on a switch, not the OEM way.

You think it may be the IAC even if my idle was normal the whole time?

I have had this issue for about 2 months, starts just fine when cold, but after driving around town stopping somewhere coming back to try to start it within the hour it will just crank..but won't start, Ive tested the fuel pressure, its around 35psi give or take a few. Ive changed the CPS...

update, i checked my CEL codes, i got (in this order) 12, 54, 11, 24. planning to just replace the CPS and the TPS

if this works, this is one picture of the mounting tab. https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/s480x480/13567310_10209871398523037_8325817070951437952_n.jpg?oh=5db185bc4d8f0c005c733fed8afb7b0b&oe=57EEBD7A This is another. does it look right...

i have video of it moving, not in circles, but i guess its side to side, videos makes it seem not as bad, and i have pictures of that tab, not 100% its on right..how can i post pictures?

Thinking, would the distributor be moving because the bolts are just loose, or could it be with an installation issue? Im going to try tightening it, but if its more than just that im going to have the shop fix it right.

I believe by law a "shop" needs to get an "OK" from the customer about the work needed and price quoted. if the shop just does the work without getting the ok from the customer, the customer doesn't have to pay. At least thats on thing i recall learning in an "insurance fraud investigation"...

So in theory, because of the movement of the distributor it may have caused my no start problem? Which would mean that it should be under warranty still. Thanks for the help. Now hopefully the shop will honor it.

1995 XJ, 4.0L automatic trans. NP242 transfer case. The other day, driving the jeep, was fine. parked it, an hour or so. Got in, cranks but wont start. called tow truck, while the truck was on the way, i went and tried starting it in N. started up just fine.. Let it run, turned it off, tried...

Hey, Flatheadx, i found a youtube video about a no-start jeep. (not sure if this will actually fix your problem) But, one thing they found was a wiring harness was touching the exhaust manifold which cause the wiring to melt causing a short which caused the no start issue. Maybe something to...
