No start
(96 xj classic 4.0L i6) so i just replaced my cap, rotor, spark plugs and wires, along with the ignition coil. But when i got everything in and went to start it i got nothing except a click, i tested the battery it was coming back 12.6 volts, tried tapping the starter and that did nothing, it started a few right before i replaces everything and im confused.. the starter hasnt shown any signs of dying, im going to get the starter tested right now fortunately theyre cheap
1. get the battery tested. 12.6 V means nothing if your cranking amps are toast, is everything put back in proper order?
2. why did you replace these items was there trouble before or just maintenance.

1. Clean all battery connections until they are shiny.
2. Have battery "load tested". Any parts store will do this for you for free. It is the ONLY way of determining battery condition.
3. If the above steps check out, take a meter and with the ignition on, see if you have full battery voltage directly at the starter. If not, start working your way back into the engine bay. Battery cables, etc.
Good luck and keep us updated!
