Here's my new daily driver and a V12 engine update! • I Sold My Performance ...
Here's part 2! • First Start Of The Aba...
I bought a former fastest SUV in the world for only $750. It came from an auction and was abandoned for 5 years. In this video, I briefly go over the history of this amazing machine, and then we discover the SUV together. I find some weird stuff inside, we replace a bunch of parts and try to get it started. Enjoy the show!

Check the cam and crank signals. I noticed the tach doesn’t move when you crank it over. It is a common failure. And if one is bad, replace both with ONLY mopar parts. Those computers do not like aftermarket parts.

@nickloss 3 года назад

if you don't have cam or crank signals you won't have spark or injector pulse

@mikethrapp 3 года назад

Its not a normal cam sensor. Its a pick up coil. Rarely fail in a jeep. If it does thats because your distributor is shot. No tach signal asd relay curcuit will shut down. No power to coil or fuel pump while cranking. You will have system prime at key on. But will loose asd relay function when it fails to see crank signal. These crank sensors are super easy to test.

I had diagnosed one of these a few years ago, went through similar symptoms. After several hours of messing with it, on a hunch I had the catalyst unbolted and cranked it over. It fired right up! Previous owner didn’t do the maintenance it needed and it melted the top of the cat, so basically it had no airflow. Hope this helps!
