Take a spark plug and put it in the coil wire. See of you have spark at the coil. Also check the grounds on the dipstick tube.

You also need to calculate in the height of your spring perch.

Went out back and stole the coil off my wife's cherokee. MJ runs! Thanks for the input guys. But it turns out that it was an easier problem than I figured it would be.

So it's not fuel related. Everything checks out fine. But I cannot get spark. I played with the CPS and still can't get anything. Not really sure where to start tomorrow. If I had the distributor on wrong I would still have spark. When I turn the key and turn the motor over I also get a relay clicking on the pass firewall. From the firewall forward, it is the third relay. When I did my motor swap. I drove the MJ into the shop. In plugged all of the sensors and pulled the motor. With both motors side by side I swapped the renix sensors, flywheel and TC over to the HO block and intake. Plugged the Renix exhaust manifold where the EGR was. Swapped over the distributor. And put the motor into the MJ. Plugged the sensors back in and modified the fuel lines, and hooks up my modified TPS. Put the battery in and crossed my fingers. I guess I didn't cross them hard enough. I do NOT have spark at the coil.

Good choice with the IRO products. Like said before, lift the rear and go from there. Be sure to take proper measurements before your lift so that you can adjust to the proper lift that you achieved.

Never touched the tank. At this point it is likely to be anything. May not even be related to fuel. I was just looking for possible places to start. As I stated before. I have decent fuel pressure out of the valve on the fuel rail. But a bad regulator is more than possible. Going to grab some ether and see if it will fire first before I start taking anything apart. I set TDC on both motors when sitting side by side, noted which way it sat and such way it turned when it came off, made it reverse the sequence when it was installed. Dropped right in on first stab, so I'm fairly confident on it

While I was in CAN a buddy of mine dropped off the fuel parts I was needing (sorry JimOshel, I was sent out the morning after I messages you) I will check the regulator, but let me make sure I am not retarded first. The fuel port at the most front of the motor is the return, the one inboard is the input correct? I was going by the size of the port, largest should be the input? I've read that the regulator is not serviceable? So I would have to replace it I guess I did not bypass the return line, I cut the ends of the renix rubber lines and connected them to my shortened 91-95 HO lines. Looks stock from above the motor.

Well I got off the plane in good ol DFW Texas this evening. My wife was going to be working late so I decided to tear into the MJ again. Got the fuel lines made and got the motor all buttoned up and filled with fluids. Crossed my fingers and gave the motor a spin... Nada... Motor would turn, with the occasional promise. But no go. I do t have a fuel pressure gauge but when I press the valve on the rail I get fuel. A good stream/spray but not like one with a High pressure pump. Not enough for it to touch the hood with it open. At this point I called it quits because the wife got home and the Mosquitos ( haha, welcome home...) were terrible. Any clues as to where to start in the morning? I'd like to get it started at least while i am home. I leave back to Canada on Monday. Thanks~ Kolton

For 40 bucks? Heck yeah I'd buy it! Too ba shipping would kill that idea real quick.

Nice MJ man. Really diggin the Blue! I have nothing bad to say about ProComp tires just pick the tread that will meet your needs the best. On my LJ I've got 65k on Xterrains, and I had about 50k on my MT's. both had/have heavy off road use an long road trips on them.

Ah, thanks Cruiser. And Canada is great Eh?! Unless its for work. Hunting, fishing, hiking trips? Heck yeah! But when I'm up here trying to teach some of y'all's "veightest" military members advanced demo... It can feel like I'm a little stuck haha! Worst part is I can't even go grab a beer after work! (Or work on the MJ!)

Ive been stuck in Canada for awhile for work and haven't gotten to finish bolting back up my MJ. I was going through things in my head. Coming up with ways to mount manual gauges and stuff by making adapters. Then I thought about my TPS adaptor I made using shims to make the male to male connection. And that just seems a little "odd" to me, so I was wondering why people just don't splice the HO TPS into the Renix wiring harness and be done with it? Does it not read correctly? Is the wiring different? Same # of wires on the plug? I don't have anything to look at or go by to answer my question so please bare with me. Thanks, kolton

If its a true miller hood, id grab it. All of the internals can be replaced easily and fairly cheaply. I spent $365 for my miller and I wouldn't trade it for anything. The large viewing area is just something else. But I buy the cheap Harbor Freight auto hoods to keep at work and in the truck.

Why not incorporate your rod rack into a traditional tool box? I've seen some of the wheel well boxes in an MJ. They were plastic and lacked a lot of storage space. It was almost just enough room for weather gear, 4 boxes of shells, and 2 shotguns. Not much room after that.

¡Buen idea amigo!

More info on that great Café!

X2^ You can buy and build 60's for cheaper than a 44. And in the end the 60 will still be the stronger axle.

.Yeah, I reckon he means music (but the "wife" thing was funny :D ). . I hear that out there in Texas, y'all have BOTH kinds of music - county and western! *badda bing* . Here is a funny country song by Ween, titled "Piss Up A Rope": www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7M3EEHYkJ0 . That's some funny stuff! But Thanks to you... now I have "Rawhide" stuck in my head with the images of black suits and sunglasses!

My wife? Lol I... I'm uhhhh... I'm from texas? What do you mean "what do you listen to?" Haha mostly older country and what we consider "texas country". A lot of classic rock, rockabilly, hellbilly.

Haha suspension is one thing I do know about. After doing around 15 swaps over the years on mine and friends vehicles.... It's second nature at this point... I do not suggest doing it this way though. It was all I had and it was my first swap. Spend the money on tall jack stands. Cinder blocks are strong, but it's some scary chit when they collapse. Thank god I was up by the front axle when it happened!

You'll have the perch measurements correct, but you'll still need to measure pinion angle. Do this with the weight of the vehicle on the axle, and just snug the u-bolts up to hold it in place. When you get your correct angle and perch width, tack your perches in place. I always retard my pinion angle just a little to compensate for axle wrap. But that was on my bronco so idk if these have that tendency or not. It wouldn't hurt to check your pinion angle at full droop after you tack everything in place either.

Sweet!

Yeah, perches have to be welded as well. I've never personally broke an 8.8. And I've trashed on them. Weld the tubes, perches and shock mounts and call it good. Same with the 8.25, I'd weld the tubes anyway on it as well while you have it out. Check the pinion bearing as well, had a few JY ones be bad when installing on my friends jeeps.

If your doing all that work and still wanting to convert to disk, why not just use the 8.8? Comes with 31 spline and disks.

Damn I needed that laugh!
