There's no flooding. Can smell gas but not wet. Is an oem cs. I did the tune up pulled my plug wires one at a time the spark is orange. Not blue. This is the most confusing issue I've had on a vehicle

I don't know if your Jeep has a ballast resistor, but if it does, it might bear checking out.

The ballast resistor there on the inner fender is actually there to quiet the fuel pump. A guy posting just a few days ago needed to clean his Coil/ICM contacts a second time. In my signature Cruiser has a neat deal there under the "mostly Renix" link. Worth a shot as it's free!

Thanks everyone for all your advice. Was told I fixed the problem with the cps and I guess when I changed the cap it was on reverse. Lol
