Here's one for ya guys.... 01 TJ... I went to work today and parked at the park n ride as always everything normal no problems, when I got off work it wouldn't start. I got a tow home and did all the normal checks fuel, spark, fuses... etc.

Here's the weird part - no spark - no fuel, fuel pump is not coming on at all. All my fuses are good, I don't know about the relays but I switched them around because they are all the same and nothing. I am lost.

I called Auto Zone and talked to another Jeep head down there, and he told me what I already did he had no clue.... I called my Cousin he has his own shop and is a master mechanic... he is lost too he did tell me to check all the grounds.... all looked good from what I can see, I will be taking it to his shop if I cant figure it out, I have never taken any of my vehicles to a shop, but this one has got me stumped!!! :banghead:

If it didnt turn over, I would say bad ground, battery or ignition switch.
Since you didnt mention that it wont turn over, Im going to have to say something wrong in the power distribution center. I think the power for everything goes through that except power for the starter relay. Do your lights, radio, interior light etc. work? If they do, that may rule out the PDC as the problem.
That would leave the Powertrain Control Module as my guess but Im not sure the gauges go to the PCM.
hmmmm! Im sticking with something amiss in the PDC, thats my final answer.

Sounds like you've been thorough, but haven't mentioned checking the battery and cables. That's where I would have started with those symptoms (assuming the dome lights didn't come on)

Sorry bout that.... Everything works fine lights, turns over just fine normal speed not slow its just not firing, and I did check the battery cables first thing but it wasn't acting like a bad connection.

Get this!!! Someone actually stole my Computer, not only that but cut it out!!! The shop also said that it wont work in any other vehicle unless they get the memory flashed so more than likely its going to end up in the trash!! IM SOOOO PISSED!!!!

Anyways that would explain my problems. I am definitely going to get a hood lock now!!!!

That's low man! Who the f*** would steal a computer? I know that with my 1995 there is a shortage of computers since Jeep quit making them, but there are plenty of aftermarket computers. Sorry to hear that man, is your insurance paying for the computer and wire harness?

Yeah but unfortunately I have a $500 deductible but the computer alone was over 600 and the closest place is in Michigan or something so it has to get shipped out here to western Colorado..... and I was going to go to the Jeep safari this week in Moab but now I have to get a ride. I HATE THEIVES!!!!
