99 cherokee no start
just cranks and cranks and cranks no start
fuel gauge reads no gas
no cel
unplugged cps stil reads no gas ( i don't think its the cps but i could be wrong )
clean and checked all connects
checked fuzes
im stuck and don't know what else to do. it was running for a little bit but i had to keep my foot on the gas. i took it off and it stalled out. since then it hasn't started just keeps cranking. if anyone can help i would appreciate it. thanks

I think If I diagnose the fuel gauge problem it should start. Anyone know why a fuel gauge would stop working ? I have the dummy gauges btw huge fuel no rpm.

Not sure don't really have a way to test it. & the 99 has a distributor and don't they go bad around 108k?

That's why a tat covers my lower left arm. Battery exploded in my face.
