1998 XJ 4.0L Automatic
Hey guys, a few weeks ago I had a no crank/no start and determined it to be the NSS. Got that fixed and now I have a crank/no start issue. My gut says CPS.
When I put the key in, no dashboard lights, gauges, no radio, nothing. Only thing that works is interior lights. If I fiddle the key into the run position and wiggle it a little bit, I can usually get radio but it's all static. If I just sit there with it for a few minutes, I'll get radio signal and every now and then the dashboard lights and gauges will come on and the CEL is on but whenever I go to read the code the reader tells me there is no CEL on.
98% of the time when I turn the key, it cranks but no start. The other 2% of the time there's a loud noise like the engine is trying to crank but can't. When this happens, the main engine pulley moves like an inch.
