Hi guys! Been awhile, eh? Hey, no turn sigs or wipers or high beams. Horn works but most everything on that signal lever doesn't. Cleaned all grounds, replaced some parts but no joy. Damn Heeps!

Guys, please listen for a sec. Yes some good points have been raised but listen to this... It ran just fine before I moved it one tooth on the dist shaft. My fuel pressure is fine, the timing chain is fine, the crank sensor, cam sensor, distributer, rail, pump etc etc etc etc is all FINE. And anyone who can't hook up plug wires correctly shouldn't even be under a hood - period. I guess most of you don't know me but trust me I'm a lot more savvy with Jeeps than I'm being given credit for. Next step is try to find the mark on the crank pulley, bump the starter to rotate it up to TDC and then re-stab the distributer with the rotor at cyl 1. I just had eye surgery last week and can barely see but I need to get this damn thing running so I can drive to TX and back

What the HELL am I doing wrong?? I have spent four DAYS, I repeat DAYS disconnecting, unbolting, removing my distributer, rotating the cam gear ONE tooth, tweeking the tang on the oil pump accordingly so the shaft aligns, reinserting the distributer, and still no fire no start. I bet I've been all the way around that gear four times by now. Now before anyone starts with the crank sensor etc jazz - the cam sensor, distributer, crank sensor AND coil are all brand new. Also rotor and cap. It ran fine, but was cutting out or backfiring out the front under a load so I thought I'd pull the distributer and rotate the gear one tooth, which I did and I marked its position. It ran but barely. I pulled it again and rotated the gear backwards two teeth, which SHOULD have put the timing one tooth in the opposite direction. It wouldn't even fire and has not ran since. A week now!!!! I have used a compression tester to find TDC on cyl 1, aligned the distributor with the rotor at cyl 1, but no joy. Dammit I can't even have a shop look at it without paying a fortune in a tow charge. Theres something I'm missing. WTF IZZIT?!! Anyone want to make a c-note the easy way? Come out to Parker and I'll supply that plus steak n ale. I'm done with the frustration of this clusterf#@& xjs4ever@gmail.com

O'Reillys did exchange the crank sensor due to it had a one year warranty, and I grabbed a re-man distributor just for the cam sensor. I'll return the coil and comp back forty bucks for it to soften the blow on this clusterfluck. My only concern now is getting the distributor stabbed correctly and without timing issues. My health has taken some serious hits lately and without going into detail, I need to chill till tomorrow before crawling under that dang thing again. I will post an update when it's resolved

Yea, Cins 95 ZJ is a dream to replace the cam sensor. Pop off the cap n rotor and there it is. Mines a pain in the arse

How you been, Don? Codes? No. Dunno how

Huuuuhhh???!!! Cruiser whaaaaat?? Who's dizzy? '91 4.0L HO, auto trans I don't have the experience to test all the sensors, and am ok with replacing 15 yr old parts even if they're good. Just wish I didn't have to spend hundreds of $$ and several days in the process

Ok, Jeep was stalling and hard to start. Replaced the fuel filter which it needed, and it was ok for a few days. Then started the same crap again. Found no spark from the coil so I replaced the crank sensor, started it and it ran for a minute and died. Has not fired since. Thought to myself "well its got the original coil" so I put a new coil in. No joy. Cannot just buy a camshaft sensor for it - gotta replace the entire distributer so I ordered one. If that's not the fix, a couple guys think I got a defective crank sensor from the parts store. I guess I can see if O'Reilly's will take it back and I'll get the next step up from Master craft. BTW - hi guys!! :waving:

Hey guyz Thought I'd show off a new ride, and one for sale here in CO if anyones looking for a bike. The V-twin is the new one, the Ninja is up for grabs. 2010 EX250r for $1,995

Hi guys I'm also looking for a shell. Built a wooden one that was a 300 lb monster. Outside dimensions are 60" x 75" and yea I had an S-10 one on my longbed and it was too dang low.

ok got the decals on, but I f'd up the "ee"'s a little but will just live with it I guess. even found a 4.0 litre badge and a command trac one too. I assume that I have that and not select trac. I don't want to post pics yet as I am still fabricating a rear bumper but when its done I will start a new thread in a different list

Yea? Was that yours I saw at O'Reilly's around 14:30 today? All chopped up, no doors? I was going to stop[ in on my way back but it was gone by then. rj

Got em. That Spencer seems like a decent sort. Even included a bonus one that looks like the old school Rover or Scout. I will see if I'm right.

figures. a typo throws me under the STEAM ROLLER

Its probably just internet BS so I transferred $30 into my paypal account so in a couple days by the time it posts and I find the actual site I will be able to order a set and risk losing $17 or getting the decals. I'm wary cuz when I tried to e-file my tax returns - guess what? In typical RICK fashion - I find I am a victim of identity theft. SOMEONE has already filed returns under my social security number. Story of my life. :fs2: I used to laugh about it. Like 'hey, anyone wants MY life well $#!t they are WELCOME to it!' well jokes on me - someone DID take it. I also [we] did a chapter 7 bankruptcy to dismiss $84,000 of my wifes medical dept. Well none of them filed a claim so I was to get all my stuff back [money, motorcycle, guns] but my student loan - which is exempt from chapter seven - IS entitled to any monies I have. They took $30,000 from me. That was my inheritance from my moms death a few months ago. POOF! it goes to the goddam gov't. Oh did I mention I have been unemployed since last year? Nobody will hire a man close to 60 these days regardless of what he can do. When my garage burned down a few Halloweens ago, after my wife almost died from a fall, someone here said 'dang Rick & his wife can't get a break' well no $#!t here's more proof. Having a bad day?? Walk a mile in MY shoes.
