Ballast resistor (ceramic gizmo, probably mounted on the firewall, follow the wire back from the coil).

 

Ballast resistor is not present in a 99, nor will it cause a no spark scenario.

Curious also if the code reader sees the ECU

 

Yea ^, The ballast resistor was (not necessary) for the fuel pump till 94? 96? Anyway stupid question, is it cranking OK? These things need to turn "briskly" for the puter' to get what's going on. The days when one little crank opens the points and bang you are off, are long gone! Is there a resistance check for the cam sensor?

 

It may be the Automatic Shut Down (ASD) relay acting up. It controls the ignition and fuel injectors. The fuel pump is on a different circuit.

There are two fuses for the ASD: Fuse 11 (20A) in the Junction Block and fuse 19 (25A) in the PDC.

Check these fuses and if okay, swap the ASD relay with the Radiator Electric Fan relay and see if it works.

 

It seems to crank fine, did a resistance test on the new CPA and I think it might be no good, going to try to get another today

 

We checked the asd relay and did the swap but still nothing. With the multimeter I have I tested the ignition coil when cranking and is not getting anything, so the book points toward the crank shaft sensor or the cam shaft sensor

 

Replaced can sensor, rotor, distributor cap and all spark plug wires. Still no start. Could really use some help

 

Cam sensor

 

Well I found it the hard way not to ever buy electrical parts from AutoZone, after a week of trying to get the Jeep to start I took it to a mechanic, the ignition coil from AutoZone was a piece of crap and he put in A mopar coil and it fired right up. Lesson learned!

 

Glad you got it fixed. Thanks for the follow up. Now I know not to buy coils from autozone.
