Jeep Wont Start
 
As of yesterday the jeep was starting and running fine. I came back to drive this morning and she will no longer start. She turns over fine but just will not catch to start. I've checked all the spark plug wires and even gone as far as to spray some starter fluid in. The battery isn't dead and is fully charged and like I said was running strong yesterday. This is my DD and need her to start. Is it something electrical? Any suggestions?? Please help!

I've got similar problem. Forum suggested to listen for fuel pump turning on at the last key position before it cranks. Also check the P codes.

ZSGroms 06-14-2014 06:05 PM

P codes? And I'm listening but don't know what I am looking for.

Some info would be nice. Like the year, model, engine size would be most helpful. You say you sprayed starting fluid into the intake and nothing happened? You have a no spark condition. I suspect a bad crank sensor.

Sorry 97 4.0L I6. Could it be the starter maybe?

Does the engine turn over when you turn the key to the crank position?

ZSGroms 06-14-2014 07:08 PM

Yes it does but it wont actually catch from there

Bustedback 06-14-2014 07:21 PM

What do mean by it won't catch?

ZSGroms 06-14-2014 07:37 PM

It doesn't start. It doesn't even sound like it's trying to turn itself over

Bustedback 06-14-2014 08:23 PM

It turns over but won't start, right? You sprayed starting fluid into the throttle body and it still didn't start, right?

ZSGroms 06-15-2014 02:45 PM

Yes and it isn't the starter coil

Bustedback 06-15-2014 03:22 PM

I suspect it's a bad crank sensor or cam sensor.

Apparently the only place that I can find the part is at the Jeep dealership? I've been to all the flippin stores and cannot find the part anywhere.

They can't find a listing for a crank sensor? Or a cam sensor (aka pickup coil)? http://www.rockauto.com/getimage/get...%20primary.jpg http://www.rockauto.com/getimage/get...%20primary.jpg Www.rockauto.com will have it.

The cam sensor number is A Standard LX258
The crank sensor is a Standard PC176
