93 cherokee not starting

I have a 93 cherokee and a couple of weeks ago I noticed it wouldn't start. I had to turn the key over a few times and then it would start but now it has got worse and now it won't start at all. When I turn over the key I hear no noises except for my fuel pump, When I turn it over the entire way the guage on the top left jumps to the top. I hear no noise from the starter, I replaced the starter relay and that didn't do anything. Any suggestions on this matter would greatly be appreciated.

Re: 93 cherokee not starting

I had a similar prob with my 94 cherokee and someone here recomended to have the CPS (crank positin sensor) replaced. Problem solved. I beginning to think that Jeeps are built with inferior electrical technology.

Do you know where the CPS is located and how easy is it to install?

You can see a drawing of the CPS here (Second Picture - assuming inline 6 cylinder).

It can be a problem to get to, but not impossible. When I changed mine, I used several extensions and a swivel to get the socket on the bolts that hold it on. Had to come from below, next to the drive shaft.

Good Luck.

Take Care,

Re: 93 cherokee not starting

If its not turning over it could be the starter itself, try tapping on it with a hammer and see if it will start.

Re: 93 cherokee not starting

I found out the problem and it's the NSS (Neutral Safety Switch) I have to slam it in park and put into neutral just like jigglin the toilet seat handle. Someone in this forum has a article on changing out the NSS but I can't remember who I printed it off along time ago. check around though.

Re: 93 cherokee not starting

The easiest way to change out the NSS if it's a 4 speed automatic is after you remove the adjusting bolt pry up the tabs and loosen the big nut almost all the way but leave it still on then use a flat head against the transmission pan to pry it off.
