Ok, Just replaced the engine in my 89 cherokee with a good used one. Has a new head and all new gaskets. Engine turns over fast and then bogs down for a second. Getting spark to plugs but no fire. getting fuel to fuel rail. i've tried messing with crank position sensor and now im out of ideas. Any HELP :banghead:

Messing with CPS? That ain't the same as changing cps. Try this website;

Assuming you've removed the Dis cap and spark plug wires, you may want to recheck the firing order.

Sounds ike you have distributor or plug wires crossed Did you have distributor out. Check firing order. If you remove cps you aren't going to get spark it creates the spark Dale [email protected]
