cranks but won't start, i think no fuel
I have a 99 cherokee that has been parked for about 6 months, I started it about once a month, the last time about 3 weeks ago. This weekend the battery was completely dead, so I charged it, now it won't start. No spark, where is crankshaft positioning senor located at?

if it is not getting fuel a quick way to find out is
1. unhook the fuel line from the injector rail and turn the ignition on. If it doesn't pump fuel then there ya go.
2. Spray starting fluid in the intake if it starts with it but will not continue to run then you have verified your problem.
As for no spark I agree with starting with the cps.
