95 XJ Sport, Crank but Won't Start
Hello everyone,
I have a 95 Cherokee Sport automatic 4.0 L Straight 6.
The other day I started up my car and I had a rough bouncing idle. When I drove the acceleration was delayed. I came to a stop light and it just died and I wasn't able to get it started again. Called a tow company and got it back to the garage.
Doing some research we replaced the cap, rotor, wires, plugs, (and made sure it was TDC), CPS, fuel filter, and the CPM with no luck. Also tried spraying some ether down in the air intake and no luck also.
Cranked and but start, super close to turning over.
I am getting a nice blue spark out of my plugs. Have fuel and fuel pressure going into the engine.
We pulled the new plugs and found they were covered in fuel and black so we are getting more than enough fuel.
Also to note my CPS harness is getting 7V (should be 5V) and my fuel injector are getting 7V (should be 12V I believe).
Currently I am stumped and have no idea what else to do. I don't want to take it to a Stealership
Thanks!
