Well nocoolusername did both you and Slick fall off a cliff on New years, or what? I saw one that said the trailing edge of the rotor ends up on the center (Mark) for the electrode....

yeah I have pretty much given up for now. I am looking at finding a running parts vehicle so that I can swap parts till I find the answer. but I have had other priorities lately. My son no longer likes his jeep liberty he bought last year and wants to get something else. so I am going to buy it from him and use it for a driver for my daughter. so my toy money is going to be used for a while.

Is your cam sensor lined up with the hole in the distributor body? It absolutly must line up.

Just had tbe same problem with my cousins 90. Replaced ad verified everything multiple times. Ended up being a few broken teeth on the flywheel tone ring. Not the starter ring the timing ring. It would randomly start and spark erratic. We still dont know how it happened but it did. Pull the inspecton plate or starter and check that.

Try a new Ecu under the dash. Pick one put of a jy. If its the worst 47 bucks you spend you'll still have a good day. Only reason I said it is because that was my remix no start problem. Ecu got shorted out and fryed
