Re: YJ No Spark
Nope, the CPS doesn't have any current flowing through it unless the
engine is running... and then that current is self-generated. :)

Re: YJ No Spark
ok, makes sense. Perhaps it just died for good then. I remember my Dakota
losing the crank and cam sensor, twice. I'll check that next. Thanks

Start simple.
Spark from the coil? Hold the coil lead by the block and see if
it draws a spark when you turn the engine.
Double check you put the rotor in there. :)
And the camshaft position sensor pickup on the distributor is hooked back up.
And the plugs are going to the proper post.
