So i went to start my 90 xj today and.... you guessed it no fire. i had her running a few weeks ago no problem. than i started to remove the interior it is completely out now except the dash i went to start it today to move it to do the brakes and start welding. so i go to turn the key and it just turns the motor no fire. i tried shifting it to 1/2 than to neutral nothing. i did a tune up and it started fine three weeks ago but now its not firing. i filled up the tank in my yard and tried to fire it and it just turns and will not fire. someone please give me some ideas i want to get her back on the road i need some help please and thank you

Are you getting fuel to the fuel rail?

There's a purge valve at the end of the rail, turn the key on, let the fuel pump run, use a screwdriver or something and push in the purge vlave, if gas spits out, then you're getting fuel.
