Crank but no start
I have a 2000 Cherokee Sport with an inline 6, it won't start. I have replaced the starter, the coil rail, all six spark plugs and the ASD relay, there is fuel pumping to the fuel rail so I am quite certain it is an electrical problem. I believe that there is no spark. Can anyone give me advice? I'd rather not have to replace the computer or start shooting wires; I've also checked ALL of the fuses about a dozen times.

I have a renix but I know I was having starting problems as well and after I cleaned out the starter siliniod (bad speller) on the drivers firewall it helped a lot.

I guess since you can't drive it to the parts store for a code reading you might rent or borrow a reader. I'm pretty limited here...learning. Idk. It's easy to test a Renix Jeep's CPS, yours, not so easy. There IS a resistance test that might tell you something, (I think). Maybe that it's bad, but not that it's good. I guess you still have a cam sensor there where the dizy would be, it has a resistance check as well.
Anyway, finding the codes and checking for a nice crisp blue spark would be a start.
