88 cherokee.inline 6 4.0 bought at auction. I have no spark.getting power to coil and icm but still no spark.Does anyone know if a bad stator in the distributer could cause this? I am stumped no idea....All the wires in steering colum arre cut but those only run 4 ways and blinkers and stuff correct?

what do you mean all of the wires? i think that the ECU is located in or around the steering column so you may have a problem. is it throwing a code?

The ecu is mounted on firewall down there i know. The wire that are cut are in the colum to blinkers fourways etc. I pulled a coil icm out of my wheeler and it still didn't work? Does anyone know what the stator does in the distributer? I have another ecu going to try but everything else works so i'm not leaning in that direction??

you probably have a bad crank sensor. it is mounted on the drivers side of the bell housing on the trans. the connector is located around the fuel rail and the wiring will run behind the valve cover. you can check this by taking a volt meter and ohming across the wires in the connector going to the sensor. if you have an open circuit then you need a sensor. the stator in the distributor, by the way, just tells the computer what cylinder the engine is on.
