Wasn't 97 the year that the on-of-on-off-on trick wouldn't display codes?
There was a short run of those AIR. BTW, which engine? Most of the rest of
this assumes the 4.0L six.

Ground strap first, fuel pressure second: do you hear the pump when you turn
the key on (before the starter engages)? Remove the cap and press the pin
in the center of the schrader valve on the fuel rail (use a rag) to see if
it's holding any pressure. Unplug and re-plug the CPS connector - they
lose contact, so clean it with contact cleaner or WD40.

Use a spare plug and check for spark on one or more plug wires, come back
for more ideas once we have a better idea of what is/is not happening.

Of course I was trolling when I wrote those words. "L.W.(Troll Boy) ------

You know I've never lied. And I don't use foul language, as that

Fraudulent Tax Reporting

My bills of sales are boxed in the year they were entered into my
tax receipts, It would take hours to go though this year's receipts, let
alone going back ten years. Of course you never making enough to pay
taxes, you wouldn't know about that.

He calls upon the Lord, who hears him not:

You know I can relate to Jesus, as I've only done good, yet these
little low lifes persist in persecuting me. Pray for them as they know not
what they do.
