Try checking the CPS usually unplugging and replugging it back up with get ya going.

There is a pick on this link even though yours is not Renix basic CPS properties apply for all of the XJ's

Ok Im game someone told me pull my distributer I coulda sheard a pin on but Im not one to pullin that but cps sound easy enough any other ideas if this dont work

I would wait on the distributor as they are not nearly as common as a bad cps.

Ok I have no spark to moter have power to coil but no spark

Have you tested your cps?

replaced cps on my 1996 Jeep Cherokee for no start problem help problem. unplug and reconnected cps Jeep started with old cps.

Cannot find cps on my cherokee lookd in all spots on the trans and nothing going to look again

The connector is at the back of the Valve cover on the driver's side.

The link i gave you had a picture of it route.

yeah I found it on the a4 the connecter in on top of the bell houseing and its a pain I pulled it replaced it and still no spark

Why would it smell like starting fluid. Are you the only person that has access to this Jeep.

CPS connector is usually the problem I wouldn't have replace the CPS until checking the connector first.

The next thing after CPS would be the Distributor. But can get expensive throwing parts at it.

Did you replace the sensor or just unplug it and plug it back in?

went to levin got a new one and nothing so went and got a coil now I gotta put that in

ok update what I replaced was not the cps I replaced a trans sensor of sorts not sure wich one so Im confused all I know is cps sensor is like 100 bucks

Just unplug it and plug it back in.

No need to replace it the connector is known for getting degraded over time.

The top left pic shows the connector side of it.
