OK...i changed the whole distributor w/ new cam sensor and it still won't run...now it just cranks :headpop:

yea I'm almost positive it doesnt have one....I'm getting the cam sensor tomorrow and when i do that ill poke around and see if i can find it hidden somewhere

Does your truck have a fuel pump ballast resistor? If so, jumper the contacts and try it. The starting circuit bypasses the ballast resistor so when the key is turned to START the fuel pump gets a full 12 volts. When you release the key, the circuit feeds through the ballast resistor. That means if the resistor is broken, you can start because the fuel pump works, but as soon as you release the key you have an open circuit to the fuel pump ==> no power. The engine runs until it uses up the fuel already in the lines ... then it dies. No the MJ doesnt have one

i thought of that but its got all new stuff within the past year....I actually talked with a fellow jeeper here and we are thinking its the Cam Sensor in the distributor...gunna try that :roll:

Ok i soldered in a new pigtail and replaced the CPS and it starts up quick but immediatly begins to stumble and wants to stall...give it some gas and it just putts throughout the process and then when it quits running it blows out some smoke through my open element K&N....ANY NEW SUGGESTIONS???

That suggests that your truck already has the bypass harness installed. so i can just splice my new cps into those wires and solder them or should i put the connector back in but leave it running directly to the computer and call it good?

:thumbsup: its got my approval...Looking great :beerhead:

I went and looked at my CPS wiring and i noticed that it goes from the sensor through the firewall directly into the computer??

do tell me more about this...i havent touched this yet and would like to know about it

i got my factory brackets and hooks for free from my buddy...now i just need to find the "L" brackets :chillin:

see thats what i thought...i already bought a replacement one and unfortunatly for me my old CPS is hardwired in so i have to solder in a new connector so i can just plug it in

Ok...have a huge problem and ill explain it the best i can... Sunday night i was driving and the tachometer started bouncing up and down erratically but i didnt notice a loss of power so i thought nothing of it...Well as i got closer to the bowling alley it started bucking and acting like it was going to stall...now at this time if i held the gas steady it ran fine but as soon as i let up it would start acting weird. It finally just stalled and i coasted in the lot. I let it sit and went and had fun then when i went to leave it immediatly started up again and after 1/2 mile i just pulled over and towed it home. I already checked the TPS and its working just fine...i went to start it today and it fired up then almost immediatly started stumbling then just quit and i had a small amount of gas-smellin smoke come out of my K&N....any suggestions????

not entirely true...make sure what engine you have first...the H.O. intake setups won't work on the renix era engine due to the mounting on the T/B being different

i just SOA'd my MJ and used some standard spring perches...i don't have any problem with axle wrap on mine

:thumbsup: works for me!!

I loved my 78 F150..had a 300ci NP-435 and a np205...it would NEVER get stuck!!

:agree: hilarious

id buy that for many reasons and pay a good chunk of change too....i have ALWAYS wanted a 2dr desiel XJ :drool:

I got a set of 4wd springs for cheap from AMC 4x4 which i then traded for some RE 3.5" leafs for my XJ :brows: ...give them a call...hes got a couple extra sets laying around

amazingly it doesnt have that...it rides just like new...i was actually surprised at how well it drives...better than my XJ does! X2, looks great! But did notice it's still needs a litter pan, like most all of our rigs do. :eek: :oops: :eek: LOL...it did need it but i fixed 99% of the leaks on the MJ...that pan is mainly for the XJ :D

Nope my fronts are from Glasswerks...i don't buy anthing from rustys

I know i know I'm ashamed at how long it took :oops:

here they are...rest are in my project page
