my 95 cherokee stopped today, at the lights just cut out, turns out there is no spark.
I disccnnected the electronic injector and checked power with my test light, there was power as there should be. Would this rule out the Crankshaft positioning sensor?
I thought it would rule it out so I replaced the coil but it made no difference, I have power going to the coil but no spark coming out.
Do I replace the Crank sensor?
I have checked all the fuses under the hood but not inside. I also switched some realys around while waiting to be towed but made no difference. At least it was a sunny tee shirt day here in N.S. and I stopped beside a Tim's so it could of been worse.
Please if anyone has experienced this or similar issues please share your knowledge and save me hours of research and head scratching, this kiwi can not fly without a jeep

Oil pressure sender problems are common and have no effect on the engine running. Inspect the sender wires and wire plug for damage or corrosion and replace the oil pressure sender.
Begin with basic trouble shooting of the electrical systems. Remove, clean, and firmly reconnect all the wires and cables to the battery, starter, and alternator. Look for corroded or damaged cables or connectors and replace as needed. Do the same for the grounding wires from the battery and engine to the Jeep's frame/body. Jeeps do not tolerate low voltage or poor grounds and the ECM/ECU may behave oddly until you remedy this.
Load test the battery.
Test the Throttle Position Sensor. Malfunctioning of this would cause shifting issues.

O
Mine is definitely gone. That outer fender was replaced, and the inner was beat into submission. I'm going to the jy today to get cruise parts. I'll see what I can make work. Unsure if there is still enough room in the fender for the bottle. May have to relocate to the engine compartment.
Thanks a bunch for the info and excellent pic.
Uh...I just had that fender apart a few weeks back you'd think. Remember. The spout goes from in engine bay through wall into fender. All the wires come from the front behind the header panel. I could be mistaken and they run down, I just can't recall exactly how they run

I say front either way. Front lockers are more effective offroad and in mud, but can get squirrely in snow (but I see you're in Texas so no snow for you - you don't need to worry about that). Also if you have a Dana35 rear a locker in the back is a recipe for an explosion of metal bits.

what rear axle do you have?

tried searching the forum, couldnt find a thread that hit the nail right on the head, so here it is. i found some old coil springs kickin around. I think they are the old stock springs. they have what seems to be a chrysler tag but its tatered and im not positive. the springs length is about 17 inches. can anybody give me a definitive answer if these are the stock size or not?
