??? wtf

No check engine light except when it wont start, but that's normal. CEL is always on when the ignition is on and the engine is not running

I have not pulled codes, This one is a 94 so is it just OBD1? Can I rent a code reader from Auto zone or something? My reader is an OBD2 only reader so I have never messed with OBD1. Although im sure codes would help. I've read a post about the codes corresponding to a blinking check engine light after 3 key on/offs but I have never been able to get that to work. I haven't tried it on this jeep so I'll give it a try.
no need to rent a code reader google jeep Xj obd1 how to pull codes !!

TEST it again. Did you route the harness properly so it doesn't burn on the manifold? Where did you buy the CPS?

my friend is finally getting rid of his stupid Toyota MR2. Fun little cars but they make Alfa Romeo's look reliable.
Trading it for an MJ

I still totally want a MR2, but I've lost my justification for one, and my parking lot.

Thanks for the help Serious Offroad, Big Purp, and Crazy Monkey Ben
Fantastic. It's always great when Jeep work, again.
