Re: '93 GCherokee 6 Hard Start
Heh, thanks Matt.
Lord knows I've never come across 'reluctor' before.
Oh well, I'm about to give up on this old gal for the night. I can't evern
interpret a digital VOM now.

That's close. 15,340 vs 18,000 Keep in mind that your vehicle may be
warmer than air temp if it's sitting in the sun or in a garage.
A quick way to check that sensor is to unscrew it, then nuke yourself
a cup of water. Measure the sensor and watch the change as you dunk it
in the water. It should go quickly down to 640-720. If it doesn't
budge then it's dead.
I doubt it is dead though. Usually when that happens they just show as
an open circuit, but it is possible. Anyhow, that would be the next thing
I'd check.
... another thought..
Have you checked the rotor and cap for any cracks/traces/burns?

No kidding, the tach connection on the old GM HEI unit was handy.
But loosing the points system sure doesn't make me cry. :)
Only thing I can do now is clamp onto the #1 plug wire and with
the new cars you don't even have a plug wire. :/
Anyhoo.. Just got back from the local dealership where they re-did
the CV boot. Guess the tech that fixed it last August didn't get
the band on exactly right so it was blowing grease. Dealership didn't
give me one bit of grief and they even cleaned the mess off the
suspension. They must have a new manager, last time was a royal pain.
Got to test drive a few new vehicles including the 2004 Dodge Durango
with a Hemi. :D ... help ... That is a big SUV but did it ride nice.
Plastic bumpers though, but what else is new.
That and this pic of a tailpipe from the lot. Dang thing was big enough
to put a DrPepper can into.

Re: '93 GCherokee 6 Hard Start
Since you are swinging the leads of that DVOM around, find a convenient
place to tap into the CPS circuit, and see if you are getting anything . If
your DVOM has HZ capability, you should pick up some reading while cranking.
The exact reading isn't important, just that there is something going on...
More later...let me read a little.

Re: '93 GCherokee 6 Hard Start
Since you are swinging the leads of that DVOM around, find a convenient
place to tap into the CPS circuit, and see if you are getting anything . If
your DVOM has HZ capability, you should pick up some reading while cranking.
The exact reading isn't important, just that there is something going on...
More later...let me read a little.
