manual trans or automatic, the are not the same.???????
so fix when not starting, afterwords that can be impossible
to fix this, scan it
the scan tool will tell why it lost spark
p03xx errors
do not play with CKP sensor,if you remove, it and not put it back like the FSM states, it will never start or be damaged
it has critical gap there. (see fsm exception)
there are 3 eCU inputs that kill spark
dead cmp
dead ckp'
and dead tachomter, ignitor signals,
all 3 , will kill the ASD relay dead, (6 ways) (scan it)
this fact , is why we scan ,and not guess.
if you install a new ckp , and do it wrong, its destroyed in some cases.

to read how to do it right (ckp)
read the free fsm

WE HAVE 100'S OF posts here,making the CKP install error.
click ignition chapter
8D-12 read page 13
one 2.5l has a special machined sensor that fits with out adjustment. if you read that page 13, it covers a/t and m/t
rules. (2 engines, 2 trans) rules.
and if you buy autozoned parts,they will sell you that wrong part
toss 4 sided coin bam fail.
One sensor has glued paper sensor gapper, that must be used.
see>?
CKP have gaps that must be correct. keep that in mind and all works out. via the FSM.
all none HALL sensors are like this, (tuned with a gap)]

only how done varies.

    heat soaked loss of spark
    can be a bad sensor.
    very common.
    best scan a dead engine,first
    and end the guessing, now.

    the ASD dropping out cranked
    is has 6 to 8 causes;
    amazing the scan tool reports all.
    https://www.jeepdied.com/ASD.html

    on guy here , not wanting to scan it
    stripped down the ASD relay so he could see it (with new spark i pocket sure.
    desperate.
    and cranked,
    then saw it drop out mid cranking session
    oops,, no scan tool, 8 reasons.
    tis a fact.
    no scan too, no joy, most the time.

SOURCE: 1994 jeep wrangler no fire

Crank position sensor has a higher failure rate than it should...however i would not change it "at random" Check for continuity between b&c terminals of the sensor with a digital ohmeter.
There should be no continuity between them (b&c should be marked on connector) No continuity reading is same as when probes are not connected to each other.
I really dislike when people try and help and use terms that owners can't understand ... "check your zxy and qtr then add an abc" dosen't seem helpful. I hope I am as clear as I can be!!!
Good luck.

SOURCE: 1989 wrangler 2.5L won't turn off with new switch

Hi there:Bad installing or a problem with the connections. The most likely problem is a bad ignition switch. To find out for sure, remove the plastic covers over the steering column and remove the 2 screws holding the ignition switch in place. Make sure the mechanism coming from the key is turning the ignition switch. If the mechanism works fine, replace the ignition switch.

I would suggest removing the ignition switch and checking the mechanism in the column to make sure it is actually turning the ignition switch off.


You could have a wiring problem, you will have to follow all the wiring from the ignition switch down the column and into the harness, there is sure to be a short in the wiring harness, that is if as you said you replaced the ignition switch for a new one.

To test this, remove the plastics around the steering column and pull out the wiring plug to the ignition switch, if the ignition turns off you have another faulty ignition switch if it stays on wiring harness has shorted out.


Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

SOURCE: 92 wrangler wont start

Jiggle the wire connectors going in to the computer under the hood -- first check battery cables/terminal connections at battery -- beleive it or not, connection could SEEM good because you get crank & lights, but if it's faulty, loose, engine won't start - computer requires good solid voltage flow.. next check a fusible link very close to the battery off of the positive cable. check fusible link carefully. this could cause your problem for sure.

My jeep is turning over but wont start. I replaced the coil and it will occasionly spark and attemt to start only to soon die then it wont get another spark at all. How do i fix this??

Jeeps most common problem is with these particular vehicles are the crank sensors. May also have a bad reluctor. which is part of the flywheel. What you need to do first, Need to first remove the crank sensor which is on top of the bell housing. Remove it and inspect for cracks if you see any cracks replace it. and reset gap. You can use a small piece cardboard like the thickness of an oil filter box,tape it to the tip end of the sensor,and reinstall. After inspection or replacement of the sensor, start vehicle,Also keep an eye on your tachometer . Your tachometer should slightly come up when cranking. If not replace sensor.The crank sensor is a part of the ignition system, the pcm needs to see where top dead center is or where #1 cylinder is to determine when to spark, simply put. So the pcm knows when to fire.

1999 Jeep Wrangler 4.0L cranks but will not start. No spark from coil. Replaced coil and crank sensor.

Check all your fuses, check power to your coil, I doubt the crank sensor was bad unless it threw an engine light at you. Ohm out your plug cables.

My 1999 Chevy Lumina shuts down while driving and will not start immediately. It may start after a while but will shut down again. When parked, it starts and idles for a while and may or may not shut, but...

it sounds like your ignition module is failing, when the car dies, take off one spark plug wire from the coil and crank the key, see if there is spark. one other issue may be the crank position sensor which can also stop the module from firing a spark

Hi my 1999 s-10 cranks over but wont fire up...

Check to see if it has fuel by spraying throttlebody cleaner into the throttle body and then trying to start it. If it fires up for a few seconds then shuts off its the fuel pump or restricted fuel filter. if it does not fire up then you need to check spark. if your getting a real weak or intermittant spark or even no spark at all its probably the crank position sensor. Sometimes the coils go out but not very often.

My 1999 Dodge Durango use to just shut down while driving and loose all power, now it cranks strongly but won't start. What's the problem?

First check for spark at any of the sparkplugs and if you have fire then check the fuel pressure.It should be 44-54 psi with key on engine off.If its not within these specs replace the pump.
