What is the CPS output?

 

I agree, it needs to be tested even though it's factory. Iv been through 2 or three cps sensors before I found one that worked. I got it from napa.

I also might add that the c101 will cause A crank no start condition if I remember correctly. I'd get all the gunk out of it and spray it out with electronics cleaner

 

Never a bad idea to bypass the C101 with the CPS wires by soldering them directly.

 

Sometimes a genuine Mopar cps needs a little help to get .5 volts ac while cranking. This happened to me! See cruisers cps mod/adjustment. Click on the Pink Link!

 

Yup. Drilling the upper hole to 3/8" is standard operating procedure in my book.

 

ok went out today and did complete ground refreshing per cruiser, still nothing...

also pulled one of the spark plugs out, placed it on the valve cover and was getting spark...

weird thing is i hear the fuel pump nice and loud but i dont think i am getting any fuel into the head... i was cranking for about 3-4 minutes and when i pulled the spark plug out it was comlpetely dry and i didnt smell any gasoline whatsoever

 

Do you hear the fuel pump run when you turn the key to the on position? You can press in on the shrader valve on the fuel rail and see if fuel sprays out (watch yer eyes). And please test the cps for ac value and let us know results!

 

Have you checked your fuel filter. After you turn the key and the fuel pump primes take the shader cap off of the fuel rail and press the middle in to make sure your getting good fuel. Just a idea.

 

Ok, the fuel filter is in the tank ,(a little hard to check), and as far as fuel pressure at the shader valve, isn't this what I just posted 2 hrs. earlier?

 

ok did the fuel check at the shader valve and no fuel came out.. sounded like a little bit of AIR came out when i first pressed the valve in

 

Fuel pump is more than likely dead. If you get one, don't get an Airtex. Bosch is the best. If you can wait, check out ebay for good deals.

 

If you decide on ebay, search Bosch 69301 fuel pump . It should be about $70 with shipping.

 

No C101 on an '89.

No it's not. There is a basket-type pre filter (I think) on the pump intake but the fuel filter is bolted to the frame rail on the driver's side, just forward of the tank.

 

^ no C101 on mine

and yes my fuel filter is outside.. could it be plugged? is there a test for fuel filter?

 

Yep, check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail. A lot of people point their finger at the filter but I have never, never seen or read of a fuel filter causing the problems you've described. If you replace the fuel pump you might as well replace the filter ($15 for a WIX) and soft lines ($3-$5) while you're under there, covered in gas.
