Damn Jon! You've been busy with that thing. Sounds like you've narrowed it down. Did you check your sensor voltages going into the computer at the computer connector?
decided since I was on a roll to do the Ebrake cable since it was snapped when I got it.
you have to remove the driver side front seat and the carpet to get it out so its a little more involved with a MJ foot brake. this one was like 15$ on rockauto .
really been bringing this MJ back from the dead, fixing so much on it.
I also need the cable that goes from the door brake to the release handle, this one is about to go.
Think I might have fixed the thing.
Swapped out the ICM for a known working one,
swapped in a new distributor,
and cleaned up a ground to the battery from the fender,
and tightened up the connections to the battery, one was a little loose, but not by much. seems to be running great now , I guess only time will tell.
did so much work, was driving fine. now its dying randomly on me again. Ugh . I hate this.
it will die, lights all stay on, if I let it sit for minute or two, then floor the gas pedal and keep cranking it will eventually start.
so many new parts, mopar CPS included , it does have an old TPS on it , but it was driving great for 100 miles and now its dying pretty frequently.
FML.

temporarily deleted EGR to help diagnose
new o2
bored TB

I hate diagnosing this sort of thing.
I am ready to take it in to a shop. I just have no clue which shops are worth taking it into.
yeah its getting annoying now. I am going to move CPS closer to the flywheel, and swap the fuel filter and some other odds and ends. I can never test it when it dies- its always at the worst spot.... and ill start tracing ign and fuel wiring around for chaffed wiring and what not.
I think I already replaced it, but I have more to try to swap in just for the hell of it . it tested fine. pretty sure I put a new one in from my last rig.
