No spark HELPP!
So a couple weeks ago I was at Uwharrie and suddenly my jeep died. It was a blown fuse under the hood. It was the 20a fuse. Replaced it and it started fine.
Havent had a problem since. Well today I happen to be at Uwharrie again and I suddenly lost power again. This time it was my 25a one so I replaced it and it blew again while starting. I connected a wire to it just to see if it would run and it then blew the 20a. Replaced both again and tried to start it an neither blew but it just wont start.
So I tested all my connections and I'm not getting spark from anywhere. Nothing from the coil or to the coil. I've also replaced the coil, the cps and the camshaft position sensor just chasing the problem. Not sure if a wire has grounded and shorted something or maybe I messed up my computer but I have no idea.
Can anyone shed some light?
Btw I'm still getting fuel pressure so my ASD is giving power to my pump but not to my coil.

You might try swapping the ASD relay with another. I know on my '96 the fuel pump is powered from a separate 'fuel pump' relay. Yours may be set up like that, I don't have a wiring diagram for that year handy to verify.
The FP relay is controlled by the same coil circuit as the ASD relay so they operate in tandem, but it's a separate relay. Could allow your fuel pump to operate while killing the ignition if the ASD relay is bad.
