    Have you checked the pump relay in the power distribution center???

  • kveliot Dec 16, 2010

    yes i have tested it and seems fine. i just found something called a crankshaft position sensor that i am going to test tomorrow.

    Good idea to check crank sensor. that sends info to the computer which sends a signal to the asd relay...that turns on the pump relay. the asd relay will also shut down the injectors if there is no signal from the crank sensor. Get a wiring diagram and you'll see how they work together.
    Also make sure your grounds are good or nothing will work as it's supposed to.

Does the vehicle have spark ? If it does it is not the crank sensor . The ignition switch supplys power for the fuel pump relay directly ,ASD has nothing to do with it . The PCM - engine computer energizes the fuel pump relay by supplying a ground - if it see's a crankshaft postion sensor signal an if no anti-theft system problems . Do you know what a wiring diagram is ? Here free one's http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info . year , make , model an engine size . Under system click on engine , then under subsystem click on fuel controls . Click the search button ,then the blue link. Third diagram down.

SOURCE: 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport cranks but will not start.

Pop off a spark plug wire, insert a screwdriver into the wire (hold onto the handle), hold a 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch away from engine and crank the engine. There should be a spark. If no spark you have a problem with either the ignition system or the ignition system control circuits. Generally if the computer dosen't see a crank signal you will not get a spark (if it doen't see a cam signal you won't get fuel). If no spark from wire try it on each wire. If not a single wire has spark, rent a scan tool from autozone or napa and see if there are any stored codes, also see if any codes come up while cranking. If you can't rent one you can buy a cheap one for under 30-40 dollars. If no codes and no spark the only thing you will have left to try is replacing the coil pack/s. If after replacing the coil packs you still don't have spark you will have to take it into a shop to have it checked out. The reason you would need to take it into a shop is because they will need to plug in a very expensive scan tool(1000-5000 dollars) that will show them all the sensor inputs. Hope this gets you up and running.

SOURCE: what weight oil does a 96 jeep cherokee use

dont know for sure how true this is but ive always used 10w30 in them.sometimes it will tell you under the hood on the sticker with the info or your nearest oil change station has the capability to look up what the manufacturer calls for.I think all older chryslers ran 10w30 though

Where is the fuel sensor on a 1997 jeep grand cherokee

Have you checked the fuel filter? I would pull the fuel line apart before the filter to see if the pump is putting gas into the line. With key on, the pump should run for 2 seconds to pressurize the lines and fuel rail. And when the engine is cranking over, the pump should be running constant and putting gas into the line. If gas shoots out, possibly the filter is clogged or the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail is defective. If no gas comes out, possibly the pump filter sock is clogged or the pump is defective.
Very unusual for the pump to run and have NO fuel pressure.

try replacing the fuel filter. also do you notice a louder than usual fuel pump whine? maybe fuel pump is going out, now, only if you hear the fuel pump working harder than usual should you be concerned about pump issues. also, check spark plugs, coils, ect. if it's due for a tune up, get it done.

You need to replace the crankshaft sensor, it's mounted behind the engine at the top of the bell housing on the drivers side. It is a pain to do, but a very common problem.
