Chance to get a 94 ZJ for next to nothin
Alright, a buddy of mine has a chance to pick a 94 ZJ for around $100. The PO is tired of dumping money into it. Problem is, it wont start. Not sure what all he's done to it. He (po) suspects a fuel pump, but I dont think he really looked into it. What are some common issues that I could lead my friend to look in to? That I know of, it turns but wont fire up

Ok didnt have a whole lot of time to look at it. I unplugged the CPS and plugged it back in and tried to start and no go, this worked on my XJ. (I assume it was the CPS Passenger side of engine bay) On the ZJ's should you be able to hear the fuel pump if working correctly? I know on my XJ I can. I couldnt hear it on this rig. What is this ASD relay? And where is it located?
If I go to the fuel rail, pull of the cap and push down on the stem should you get fuel?

That's probably because they sense that they are going to sell it for a small amount of money when the money they get for the Jeep will be less than it costs to fix it if they did it themselves. This is a case where you would have to play a mental game. They want to sell it because they don't want to get ripped off again by a mechanic. When speaking with them about buying the vehicle, you too have to act like you can't make the easy fix yourself and have to dump way more money into it than you would like. Once you get it home, fix it for nothing and drive your a$$ off.
