Hows it going i have a 98 jeep cherokee sport 4.0L. It wont start to save my life. i have replaced the spark plugs, wires, cap, coil, and the starter. It will crank but it wont start. it seems like there is no spark getting to the rotor. any ideas on what it could be? i dont want to replace the distributor in fear that i will mess something else up.

Thank you in advance for your help

 

Crank sensor?? that is a common failure

 

Have you checked to see if it is getting spark?

 

yeah its not getting spark to the cap.

 

crank sensor

 

do i have to replace it? if so how hard is it to do

 

would that cause my fuel pump not to turn on

 

does the motor even roll over

 

Troubleshoot at the coil then. Is the coil getting voltage?

 

if you have a bad crank sensor that will stop the engine from starting

 

could also be the nss has gone bad

 

Having a bad fuel pump would cause your fuel pump not to turn on.

 

Stop replacing parts and troubleshoot it. The multimeter is your friend.

 

well i replaced the crank shaft position sensor. and still no spark to my rotor or plugs. i have no idea what to do now. im about to give up and just sell the heep
