Helping a friend out here so bear with me, he has swapped a i6 from a grand Cherokee to an xj, I6 would start and run fine in the grand Cherokee. Did the swap and now the motor will turn over but no fire at all. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Something to check would be to ensure that the crankshaft position sensor (on bellhousing) is connected. Can be missed on a swap.

Without the input data from that sensor, you will have no spark and no fuel going TO the fuel injectors.

 

beat me to it ^

 

K I will let him know to check that. Thanks

 

What year XJ? Did you guys swap distributors?

 

If I'm not mistaken the xj is a 00 not sure if he swapped the distributor or not I will find out

 

A 2000 XJ does not have a distributor, it does have a cam sensor instead.

 

He used the same one from the grand.

 

Just for clarification,.,, my bad its a 93'xj
