I have no idea why it won't start it tries to start like it should batteries an Optima Red Top The Starter is trying its heart out to start it but it's like it's not getting any spark. because one time it tried running i figured it was just diesling because it never actually started i could just hear it combusting in the cylinder. Idk though any help would be great.

Not sure what you have checked so far,but the cps can be a cause,Try to unplug it clean it and back again and see if it helps,also try and clean the pick up on the bellhousing. Have you checked for spark or fuel pressure,it would help to know.

Don't use starter fluid. Like Above said, try messing with the CPS. A buddy of mine got a jeep that had been sitting for 3 years. The only reason it wouldn't run properly was the CPS.

Thanks guys all it was is i had to clean the terminal on the ignition coil It was super black. but thanks for the help. Would any of you happen to know how to adjust the Rear Door Handles like the button because my fronts are fine but that back you really have to push them in far to get it to open...

hahah there not hard to push in bro just it has to be pushed in way farther then the front ones. The fronts only need like a 1/4 inch pushed in to open and then the back ones have to be pushed almost all the way in to were it can get stuck in the handle....
