Well unfortunately I have given up on this JEEP and am now selling it. I can't get it to start nor can I get anything to go right...
Yeah right!! No I'm not selling the JEEP but after 2 weeks of not being able to run it or even drive it 2 feet I have given up on trying to get it started and running on my own.
I have replaced the tranny & TC, X-case, ignition coil, spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor, valve cover gasket, CPS, idler pulley, A/C pulley, serp belt, new oil, gas, fuel filter.
Soooo I have decided to have George the JEEP guy pick it up and tow it away to his shop to fix it so I'm able to drive the damn thing, I really don't wanna know how much its gonna cost me but I don't think it'll be too much money
So wish me luck hopefully soon I will have a JEEP that runs and so I can drive it atleast.

George is a very good guy. I needed a window regulator for my cherokee. Everyone else wanted at least 80 bucks including the junkyard. I got one from him and he charged me 20 bucks. And he even said he would give me the whole door for that price but i didnt need any other parts and i didnt want it just sitting in the garage. He is extremely fair. Good luck.

its your crank sensor that went out or just a loose connection. this is something you can replace yourself. its at 11:00 oclock on your bell housing.
tip: take the old one out first and take it with you to your local parts store or you will get the wrong every time.
Good luck

So I figured id give a little update we weren't getting spark so we found out that its the knock sensor that was bad.
So far we have replaced:
- Knock Sensor
- CPS (again)
- oil pan gasket
- hooked up the tranny and X-case
- Dampner pulley
- steering pump
- new fluids
- MAP sensor
Now tomorrow it should be running without anything breaking and threatening to damage anything else. So its test drive day tomorrow.
