I've replaced plugs, wires, distributor, distributor cap, rotor, coil, igniter, and today I replaced the crank position sensor. I still can't get it to start. I cant get any spark.
Please please please someone help me.
Thanks in advance.

Did you replace the CPS with a dealer unit? Sounds like your initial problem is with the IAC but I'm guessing you installed a cheap CPS

Alright so when my xj is off and on a slight incline is leaks gas. I thought it was the hose but its not. The steel line that goes into the fuel pump can be moved back and forth so its leaking from there. Can I just rtv it and call it a day?

Start by checking your fuel pressure off the fuel rail.

I can't remember what its supposed to be. Someone else might chime in on that.

Short version: Jeep isn't accelerating properly. He wants to know how to check fuel pump and injectors.

Joaopaulo, what year is your Jeep, 1984-'01?

You need a fuel pressure gauge, and you hook it to the fitting on the fuel rail.

Default light ticking from cap and rotor

hey guys i have a 99 sport w/4.0 and its somewhat new to me. I started to get a ticking from the cap and rotor, took it apart and the connections were pretty corroded and worn so i decided to do plugs wires cap and rotor. I went with accel found the tune up kit pn:tst16 copper tip plugs, brass connections on cap, 8mm wires runs great but when it warms up im still getting a light ticking from the cap and rotor, could it be the coil since i didnt change it all advice appreciated. is this an issue or normal for these 4.0s
