If there is only 8 volts to the coil, that is your problem. There should be battery voltage (12.2) volts to the coil with the ignition switch turned on. Connect a voltmeter between the DARK GREEN/BLACK wire at the ignition coil and the POSITIVE battery post. Turn the key on. If the volt meter reads more than 0.3 volts then you have a voltage-drop (high resistance) problem on your coil B+ circuit. The coil is powered by the Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay - this is the MOST LIKELY source of high resistance in this circuit.

I replaced my distributor cap and pickup coil on my 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2 and note it won't start as if its not getting enough fuel whereas before it would start fine. Any thoughts?

If only happened after fitting new parts, then must be electrical fault.
Make sure you connected the coil corectly, and that the cap is fitted right. Didn't leave out the rotor button?? Also make sure the coil is correct one for your vehicle.

1994 jeep grand cherokee 4.0 no spark. parked it ,it ran fine ,came out and it wont start.Checked for spark and there is none.no power to the coil

Have your control module inside the distributor tested. at a local parts store. If you remove the cap on the distributor you will see another cap with a metal prong on it with a screw down the center. Remove it and the control module will be visible. Its usually black or gray with a connector at one or both ends.

1993 jeep cherokee. Can't get spark out of coil.

Check the Crankshaft Position sensor. Usually it will reveal itself through the check engine codes. If this is faulty, the coil will not get the signal it needs to fire.

1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE RAN AND DIED WILL NOT START

They are easy to replace. Here is the location It is near the top of the transmission bell housing just to the left of centerline. You will need to unbolt it from underneath using a 7/16" socket on a long extension. Before doing so, set the parking brake and disconnect the transmission shifter linkage. Do this from underneath the truck. Let me know if this helps you at all

Starts fine runs for about 2 miles then dies but starts up

you need to change module inside your distributor. When they get hot they quit.
