I have a 2000 xj 4.0 115k I've recently replaced the oil pump and the head gasket, problem is it won't start. I have spark, I've grounded the coil pack and checked each cylinder, spark is good. It gets better, after the initial cranking session I changed the plugs they were wet. I've checked the timing by rotating to compression TDC and checking the cam positioning sensor all good. After repeated cranking I checked the oil, it smelled of gas I drained about 8 qts of gas and oil mix out of the crankcase. when I had it apart I cleaned the injectors with carb cleaner I didn't touch the fuel pressure regulator, pressure at the rail is 45-50 lbs. It did run although extremely rough before I did this. I don't want to just replace parts but would like to narrow it down a bit. Thanks for any help.
