I think the check engine light acted as usual. You stated your gas gauge activated so it could be another issue/ground There is a fuel pump ground that's by the e-brake mounting brackets on most YJs. I havn't found the bad ground yet as my YJ has no grounds on the e brake mounting cable. |

I'm still thinking bad ground because the starter works well so maybe it is just the ground to the computer that is bad. I'll try cleaning all ground straps and connections and get a new battery since it may be getting old (was in jeep when I bought it about 1.5 years ago). |
