'97 XJ won't start...and no codes
Hi,
I have a 97 XJ that won't start, it turns over, but just won't fire up. Now, ordinarily, i wouldn't bother posting with something of this vague nature, however-- I can't pull up any codes. Not even a 55 will appear, so does that mean the computer brain is dead? The jeep was fine last night when I parked it, i filled up completely yesterday on gas...fuel pump? If it was something along those lines, wouldn't I still have at least a 55 appearing when i try for the codes? Any help would be appreciated, thanks Sandy phantom_milkie@yahoo.com |

It will not always code. (it only codes if coil opens up not usually if the sensor is weak and not triggering right. When it is bad, you will not get any fire at all. Check it before you go on a wild goose chase like suggested above. If sensor is good then go to plan "B" the goose chase but the CPS's do go bad with age and can fail suddenly. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

Do not forget telling them about how to shift into 4x4 at 70 MPH for ego boosts (and a good way to get a one way tick to ditch on a slick surface) and how to use low range often on the road because you need it with cobbed together ego boosting but powerless setups like yours.

People like you give Jeep a bad name and you a a disgrace to the whole Jeep image and thing. You would not know what a real Jeep was or is supposed to be even if it bit you. You are one of those wanna be's that Jeep commercails today is aimed at. You are a big "JOKE" Mike as a Jeep guy!! Knock yourself out. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

Next is the spark. If the coil goes out it doesn't throw codes. Wouldn't hurt to check fuses either. Usually the computer throws 12 and 55, but I'm not sure if it does a 55 if there are no codes to show. Pulling and replacing the battery ground will set a code 12. -- DougW |
