Default 87 xj starting issues!

Just wondering if the older ones have a auto shutdown relay and if so where is it?

This damn jeep is about to go to the jy!

It cranks but wont start! Put a new fuel pump in. It had fuel coming up to the rail was at 31psi then a couple weeks later theres no power to the pump and no fuel at the rail!

It seems to have spark. Pulled a plug wire and it sparked though a screw driver. also checked at the coil. Other than that thats as far as I have gotten with this thing.

The jeep was given to me from a friend of the family who was tired of messing with it. It hasnt run in 10 years. Im trying to find all the relays and fuses and fuseible links but havent found any good diagrams.

Did some searching and reading on this and other forums and Im going to try the cps and see if it does anything once I figure the power to the pump issue.

Just trying to get this damn thing running so I can either sell it or use it as my winter cruise/offroading mobile.
