You really should familiarize yourself with Chrysler diagnostic
strategies before you touch a keyboard.

If this were one of your clapped out 80s GM trucks and it
wouldn't flash a KOEO code 12, where would you start looking?

Re: '97 XJ won't start...and no codes
 

Well, I don't have a spark. So that would logically eliminate a fuel
problem. But, shouldn't I still be getting at least a 55 code?
Usually, I can pull up that code and no others when there is nothing
wrong. I pulled the positive cable off the battery, I'm guessing I
should have pulled the other one instead to try and reset to a 12
code?

I did check the fuses, but really couldn't tell what any of them go to
outside of the big relays. However, when pulled, all the fuses did
look good.

I don't think this is really relevant, but incase it is, the xj was
serviced about 3 weeks ago, I had the spark plugs and wires replaced.
I have 141,000 on the Jeep.

thanks for all the suggestions.

Re: '97 XJ won't start...and no codes
 

Thanks for the info on the ground. After a little more poking, I have
found there is no spark. So, would that still be a symptom of a bad
ground as well as there still being absolutely no codes whatsoever
appearing?

Thanks,

Sandy

Thanks for the suggestion. If the CPS was indeed bad, would i get a
spark still? Or is that another indication that it could be the CPS?

thanks,
