Hi I Have A 99 Jeep Cherokee And Wont Start, Check Spark No Spark, Check Dist Wires And Plug All Good,put A Test Light On The Coil No Power From Coil Or Plug Before The Coil, So I Pulled The Interior Dash Under The Steering Wheel Down And Test All Ignition Wires Under There, There Was Power There. I Also Have A Remote Starter On The Vehicle, And Power Going In And Out Of All The Connection. Im Stumped, Any Ideas Would Be Great. Thank You Rick

Are you saying it cranks, but won't start?
Or...it won't crank and won't start.

Use a voltmeter, so you can have an idea of poor connections or just low battery voltage.

That remote starter could be bad or have a bad connection. Again, use a voltmeter to trace.

That is probably Ok. The last digit is most likely a version change. Did you get it new or refurished?

If it is used and refurbed, they might have reflashed the firmware, but at any rate it is close enough.
