want to verify if i am gettin spark at the coil.. what is the best/easiest way?

thanks

 

Use one of these.

 

A roach clip?

 

Pull one of the plugs and reattach it to the plug wire. Holding the plug by the wire boot, touch the spark end of the plug to a ground (bolt, engine block, etc.) and crank the engine. There should be a bright blue/white snapping spark at the electrode.

 

Keep it simple......

 

ok thanks guys pulled one of the plugs and placed it on the valve cover and was getting nice blue spark so that means my CPS is working right?

 

What is going on with your Jeep that made you question your CPS?

 

Yes...

 

also did the fuel rail test at the shader valve and no fuel came out.. just a little bit of air.. weird thing is when i turn the key on the fuel pump makes a loud noise like its priming.. could it still be bad?

 

Air is not good, unless you have an empty tank. Try to cycle the key on/off a few times in "RUN" without starting and check the shrader valve again for fuel. Sounds like the pump is trying.

 

gaas tank is almost full ( just pumped 15 gallons right b4 in clunked out )

i did the "poors mans trick" and still dont start

 

got to the parts store and rent yourself a fuel pressure gauge, connect to the shrader and test the pressure. Sounds like your fuel pump has given up. If your hearing the pump it's not a fuse.

 

also did the voltage check at the gas tank pump connector and it showa 6.58 volts

 

Good luck with the pressure test

 

Try bypassing the ballast resistor. It's a ceramic thing bolted to the inside of your fender next to the air box. Just disconnect the two wires going to it, connect them to each other and start.
