Make sure you provide complimentary malt beverages to your new neighbor.
It's a worthwhile investment. :-)

Oh crap still not working
 

Well now this has certainly gotten me pissed.

After I replaced the control module I took the drive to my brother's house,
10 miles. I was inside for about 45 minutes and came out just to see if it
cranks up.

The thing was acting like it was before I replaced the ignition control
module, crank but no start. By this time I imagine the engine's
compartment, due to not moving and being thoroughly heated up was warm all
over. I disconnected the spark plug wire from the coil and saw no spark
while cranking.

To recap, the parts I have already replaced are:
CPS sensor, spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap with contact,
ignition coil, and today the ignition control module, which failed the test
at autozone. The ground strap from the engine to the body is strong and not
rusted. I was so mad I was yanking on it hard even to see if it would give
and it held strong.

When I make a trip like this, after I park it and turn it off it will crank
up again, its just if I let it sit something must be getting hot and not
giving me spark. Right now it's at his house and I'm sure when I go over
there in the morning it will crank up for me to get it home and have all my
tools out with my multitester.

Now, does anyone have any advice n such for this thing? I was considering
buying a honda as a daily driver as it would be easier on gas but I love
this crappy xj however if it keeps giving me trouble I am going to give it
the boot.

I'm gonna bug my neighbor about it when he gets home from his 3 day weekend,
but it would be awesome to fix it myself. I'm just at the end of my rope
with this thing.
