Agree with allenxj, do you have fuel pressure or spark? If you have a multimeter, check the CPS. Can you hear the fuel pump when the key is in the "on" position? What size motor? Manual or auto trans?

I have not checked for fuel or spark, I do hear something when it is turned to the on position but then again I don't know how the fuel pump would sound like.

So I tried to remove my front bumper end cap. Climbed under and gave the drivers side bolts a poke. Nice! They aren't totally frozen! So I hit some PBBlaster, wait a min, and go for it. Spinny, no loosey. Stripped with like no effort. I tried wedging a screwdriver under the washer but wasn't enough room. Also tried pushing down on the bolt with some channel locks. Am I going to have to cut the head off?

Well that bolt has a nut above it but like dukie said, if you ain't reusing just rip it off[/QUOTE]

On the XJ, mine were all rounded when I got to 'em. I just ripped off the caps and cut off the air dam with my Benchmade.

So when I bought my MJ it had an ho (on stock renix controls). Were they supposed to use the original distributor because the pickup coil on this one is a round disk and I don't know if it reads the same s the original style
