Kickin’Chicken Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 1987 long bed 4x4 6cylinder automatic. I’m at my wits end on this one. I replaced the tank, filter and fuel pump recently. I couldn’t get it to start. Cranks but no start. So I replaced the CPS and still nothing - even when spraying starter fluid into the intake. Is there a way/wire I can test coming from the ecm?

89 MJ Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 So it didn't start before replacing the CPS and it still won't start after replacing the CPS? Have you pulled a spark plug to verify that there is in fact no spark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ωhm Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Using a voltmeter or 12vdc testlight (preferred) check for Battery_Voltage on the following pins (use battery_negative terminal for ground): D1_5: Battery_Voltage (Hot at all times) D1_6: At KEY ON, (Hot for 2-3 seconds). During CRANK, (Hot at all times). D2_4: At KEY ON, (Hot at all times). During CRANK, (Hot at all times). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJeepGuy Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Absolutely verify you have/ don't have spark before you start throwing ignition parts at the jeep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did these tests and they all checked out. 18 hours ago, ThatJeepGuy said: Absolutely verify you have/ don't have spark before you start throwing ignition parts at the jeep.

llhat Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 but have you checked for spark? pull the coil wire on the distributor (not dizzy) cap and set it close to something metal in the area, have helper try to start the vehicle, see if the spark jumps from the coil wire to metal... (this is easier than pulling a spark plug IMHO). if you are brave, hold on to the coil wire LoL........... (don't do this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhase Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Did you figure it out? I’m having the same issue. Just checked the three pins as well and they all are above 12v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I had my coil contacts at the ICM be dirty and result in no spark condition. If the coil has never been replaced or removed, the contacts are probably dirty and are now causing enough resistance to not spark. Hell we all should be checking our coil contacts if we’re still running original Renix ICMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
