1999 Jeep Cherokee

No spark

posted by higgy01 on Jun 02, 2008


155,000 miles. Running fine until "died" a few days ago. Mechanic says "no spark." Changed the distributor pick up; tested the coil - OK. Says it's the computer. Still waiting for a reman to be delivered. Is this the problem? Most other forums say it's the crankshaft sensor.
I have the same problem

the CPS (Crankshaft Position Sensor) is a common reason for no starts. Sometimes the connector loses its connection. I would unplug it, check for corrosion on the leads and plug it back in with dielectric grease.

The crankshaft position sensor is mounted to the transmission bellhousing at the left/rear side of engine block
