95 xj won't start
I have a big problem my xj won't start. I have no spark, I've replaced the coil, cap, rotor, pickup, still no spark and when you use the MM, voltage hits at 12 then hits and miss between 3 to 7 voltz while chankin. The voltage dose the same out of the computer next to the air box... Oh yeah the auto shut off and fuel pump realy are clinking away(extremly fast), and fuel is pooring into the return line. I thank I need a new computer, what do you thank?

Rarely the computer. Replacing the computer should be by a "diagnosis of exclusion", meaning that you should rule every other possibility OUT before suspecting the computer.
A very common cause of no spark is the "crankshaft position sensor". Located on the bellhousing. Without the input signal from the crank sensor to the computer, you will not have spark and you will not have fuel going TO the fuel injectors.
Here is a link to read that gives you more great information about this critical sensor.

And I going by what you listed as the symptoms, and what Tjwalker recommended and what I've gone through in my personal experience on Jeeps 1 thru 8.

Check your cam shaft sensor......and if not my guess maybe would be the cps. did u say u replaced the distributor coil. Use a test light or a volt meeter and start from the starrter. And check the ignition module, and the ignition switch

NVM not timing but a cold start issue so its a sensor issue since it starts at night but not in the morning like after it starts. there is a sensor that will keep it from starting when its cold but not when its hot. look into the sensor that does that. http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/...iagnostics.htm
sounds like a messed up 02 sensor
