My buddies 95 4.0L 5 speed doesn't seem to want to start.
It cranks and has electricity going to the dash but the battery light and engine light doesn't come on at first. The battery light starts to flash (dim at first) but gets brighter and the check engine light flashes for a good minute. Then they both stop flashing and stays on and it finally starts.
It's getting fuel but no spark.
It has a new cap and wires and we've tried a replacement coil but still no difference.

Well took all day and found out that it's something to do with the fuel system and the electrical work. Something to do with pressurizing the system and the relay rapidly clicks but it starts now
