Great suggestions. Bought a spark tester. I know I used a plug grounded to the block when it first died to test, and I assume it had spark but I'll give it another go. And test the CPS and peak inside the cap.

Background: Truck died while accelerating leaving work about a 1.5 years ago. Got it towed home and haven't been able to start it since (not that I've tried a lot). 1992 Comanche with a 4.0 from a 1998 XJ. Will crank for days but does not turn over. - Replaced: CPS, coil, fuel pump and filter - tested fuel pressure, it was a little low during cranking but not horrible. Replaced the pump and filter anyways. I love this truck but it has just been rotting away not getting driven and I hate that. Any advice on what else to troubleshoot? Thanks.

It's from a 2nd gen, 1995-2005. I got mine off of a 4 door if I remember correctly.

Thanks, I don't think I'd ever really sell it. I just don't drive it enough. The roll pan is for an S-10, this is the one I used: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/GMK-EFXRP09 It took a lot of trimming and figuring out a way to mount it to make it work.

Time for my yearly update. Just been driving this thing from time to time on the weekend and the occasional trip to Home Depot. I was toying with the idea of getting rid of it but thought better of it and started buying stuff for it again. It has some nasty spring wrap since I put the lowering blocks on making doing burnouts impossible without massive wheel hop. I was going to do a Ruff Stuff traction bar then a pair of Caltracs popped up for sale on Instagram of all places. Solved the problem, thing is even more fun to drive now, I can't seem to take a corner without sliding it anymore. They definitely hang low, but not really an issue for this truck. Also, I need some new tires soon, been thinking about the BFG G-force Sport in a smaller diameter and a little wider. And I finally pulled the trigger on some Eliminator decals from Jeepsticker.com. Tough to install properly but damn they look good. Only have the driver's side finished so far, I need to get some dent repair work done on the passenger side still. And trying out the new night sight mode on my phone

Thanks! Took quite a bit of cutting to make it work. Yah, Chevy bar. 7/8".

Long time no update, still have the truck though. Over the last year I've swapped the trans out for a rebuilt one with and external slave, went through a battle with smog testing which ended up being a cracked APN manifold so I replaced that with a newer version, adapted and S-10 roll pan to to rear bumper and FINALLY got the Dana 44 underneath it. New style APN header vs. Old Roll-pan fitment and final product, body working the tailgate too. Lot of bondo from the previous owner(s). Fit isn't perfect but close enough and it's not permanent so I can always go back to the original bumper. Plan to dump the exhaust too. 44 with 3.73 gears, a trac-lok and discs off of an Explorer. Also replaced all the suspension bushings with poly and added a sway bar off of a Blazer. Getting a driveshaft made up now, last piece of the puzzle then go make 11's.

Rear wheel spacers are 1.5" and the lowering blocks are steel and originally designed for a Chevy S-10. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201314842386?item=201314842386&viewitem=&vxp=mtr

Yep, that sounds about right.

The rear ZJ coils I used were a direct swap. What year? Moar info please! I *think* the rear springs for all years of the ZJ (93-98) are the same. I got mine out of a V8, but like I said I think only the fronts differ between year/trim level/engine. But I could be wrong.
