Re: 1992 Wrangler won't start in Morning
THanks everyone for the suggestions. I changed the rotor and distributor cap, but the same thing takes place. I need to get a booster cable to double check on the ground strap. I know Mike said that shouldn't be the problem since the car is cranking I cleaned the connections on the battery as well as the starter connections Can the camshaft position sensor be removed without having to remove the distributor or am I just asking for trouble there Could it be that the new battery that I put in bad? What is the easiest test to see if the new battery is retaining the charge Again, I would like to thank everyone for the valuable contributions and the time you had taken in helping me Nadi -- nelkhour ----------------------------------------------------------------------- View this thread: http://www.carstalk.net/viewtopic-360641.htm Send from http://www.carstalk.ne |

On the 93 ZJ that answer is no. But it's not that hard to do if you take your time.

Re: 1992 Wrangler won't start in Morning
No, I didn't say that at all. You are taking another comment out of
sync. The ground from the battery to the engine must be good because the starter is turning. If the ground to the body is bad, you will get no spark. This ground is a wire mesh cable that runs from the back of the engine head to the firewall or maybe from the battery negative to the fender or firewall. This is the one you need to bypass with the booster cable.
