1993 ZJ wont start...... (i have seached and done it all)
OK... I have searched and searched and done all the fixes..... and she won't start. Lets do the run down and then the story of what has been done so far.
1993
Grand Cherokee Limited
4.0
So I left for vacation 2.5 weeks ago with a running ZJ, only issue was that the rear CA bracket on the axle was cracked. So I parked it, pulled the battery and let it sit for my awesome vaca to San Diego and Vegas! Got home and still had some vacation cash left so I picked up a used 120v welder. Cut up some steel, made some new brackets and got the rear end all fixed up. (battery was still out) Now I was ready to drive the old pig cause I missed her. Put the battery in and try to start her up. It just crank and wont fire...... turns over for hours on end and nothing.
Here is what I have found so far.
1. No fuel pressure unless I hot wire the pump then I have pressure.
2. No spark at the top of the dist. cap
3. All my gauges work and I have fuel
My first thought was the security. I have over and over reset it with the key in the ignition and the rear hatch, still nothing.nest is the crank position sensor, replaced it with a unit that has .005 ohm on the B & C terminals and still nothing. Ok, distribute, replaced the whole thing, still no spark still no fuel.... F*CK me... now I really started looking and found some weird stuff.
1. If I put a 12v jumper to the fuel pump I have pressure.\
2. If I put a 12v jumper to the ASD relay I get spark at the Dist. cap
-With both it still wont start cause the injectors wont fire
3. The ASD and fuel pump relay are going ape **** with the key in the on position.... chattering like crazy.
4. the security light stays on
5. the check engine light comes on for a second, then goes away, until the two relays go crazy. It then blinks in rhythm with them, and stays on for about 2-3 sec. after the key is pulled then goes off
So I kept thinking security. I then found a write up on disabling the security with a purple/yellow trace wire in the door or kick panel. Did that and still all the same..............
I am at a freaking loss and ready to blow her up............. I need the heep going and don't know where to go next, and sick of throwing $$ at it
any ideas???????

So I put another PCM in it. Now I have a check engine light with the ignition in the on position. Still no spark and no fuel. At the Crank sensor and the cam sensor I only have 1v.......
WTF
Any ideas?
