Did you forget the step about burning white sage with your head under the hood?

damn dude sorry you are having so much trouble, seems like you have some very knowledgeable folks giving you advise try not to get discouraged too much

while i really have no clue this question is for cruiser, could some bad solder joints be doing this in the pcm, or ecm or whatever the computer on the drivers fender is called? any way to open it and look?

ECM can be opened. Rarely fail.

Grounds are the HUGE bugaboo on these Renix Jeeps. They must be eliminated as possibilities by performing the Tips outlined.

OK, finished with 3 and 4. But I haven't done 5 yet, since I don't have a resistor. So I'm going to ask my brother see if I could borrow his tomorrow.

One thing though, the connection by the driver side headlight is super dirt compared to the rest of them. And its a super hard thing to clean since the can can't fit down there to clean. Can I find something else to clean there?

You mean you don't have a meter?

Pipe cleaner on the headlight connector.

What about connections to module under dist are they clean ? Also would that cps wiring fix recall have anything to do with this issue ?

I think that is #4 Freedgr. BD, my wires to the lower sensors were miss-routed so then it warmed up, the heat shield would expand and ground out some sensor wires, then act like yours. Only took me about a year to figure it out. As far as a digital meter, the $5 one at Harbour Freight will actually work, at least for a while. Then I guess you can get them for $20 all over. You pretty much need one to do much with a Renix Jeep.

Anyone with an 87 to 90 Renix Jeep has two or three minutes to see that their
CPS is putting out at least .35 AC volts. I don't mean to come off rude, but if you can't connect a meter and turn the key, we may not be much help.
AC voltage CPS test; Small clips on the meter leads really helps. (you need contact with those little pins while it cranks)

Unplug the connector at the back of the manifold with wires going down to the bell-housing/cps. (it's a three wire plug, with only two wires)
Probe the two wires to the cps with the meter set on AC volts. (a 200 scale on mine).
Crank the engine and note the voltage. (jump it if your battery is low)

Mine somehow works with only .3 my wiring/grounds must be pretty spiffy. .5 seems to be a good mark. One article talked of .5 to .8. **
Update, it soon failed. I installed Napa #css980 in my 90, that part will work back to 87. You can also check for 200 Ohm's resistance, +/-- 75, but the ACV is what the ECU is using.

Under the distributer? Haven't checked, not sure how or where.
