88 xj quits running
I just bought an 88 Cherokee,with a 4.0. it runs great for about 15 min, then dies. no spark off the coil, no fuel pressure in fuel rail. replaced control module under drivers side dash. Mechanic hooked up diagnostic equipment, and said it was flashing back and forth, not communicating properly. now he says he thinks the alt is leaking A/C voltage. Im tierd of throwing cash at this thing. Any help would be appreciated!

being a chevy ase cert tech i know we know our product, not all prosducts, so it really takes a jeep ase tech to find a jeep issue like this. you never know, he may have ran into this issue 50 times and know the sollution right away and save you hundreds of bucks on the repair for 15 bucks more an hour, to me its worth it..
