garyindiane Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 CPS or Cps plug Would be where I would start, or maybe coil to dist plug connection. -Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Yeah...check the CPS wire routing. They may have left it too close to the exhaust and caused damage. The TPS is the next culprit on my list. I posted the testing procedure in the DIY forums for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 swimmer eh? still in h.s. or in college? I was (am) a swimmer to this day...manage around 10k yards a week on a bad week, but prefer to hit around 20 if i can. can't wait to go back to college for it...6 more semesters of eligibility :brows: what's your stroke? as for your jeep issues...definitely check as listed above. also take the cap off the distributor, and be sure it's not wet in there for safe measure. check all spark plug connections, and definitely check your coil connections. also, idk what year your truck is (forgotten already...) but check the ballast resistor. if it's deteriorated, the spring could be getting too hot and shorting it out. that's a common problem.

I'm glad to see someone else here is a swimmer...I was at state sophomore through junior year for the 200 medley relay and 200 free relays, pushing 22.9 50's as the starter and a 27.2 as breast, had it bagged senior year for 100 breast and 100 back but my co-captain and I got in a disagreement 3 days before sectionals, and as I was walking away he let me have it...right in the back of the neck (to be honest, he and I both deserved a good punch or two...just not that way). oh well...6 weeks later (after my "coined" no-swimming taper :D) at u.s.s. state for club, absolutely blew the doors off the qual. times with a 59.9 100 breast and 2.58 200 I'm. i love the sport, it's the greatest way to get the most excercise IMHO. what year are you in h.s.? lift goin on eh? :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
