I have a 1989 Jeep Wrangler with the 2.5L. It currently has prebreakage: D60 front, 14bolt rear both with 5.13 gears and Detroit locked, 35 inch BFG mud terrain tires, a Fabtech 3.5ing spring lift and a few other crap tastick bolt ons that will someday disappear.
Quick history:
I broke the TC back in October 2006 and decided it was a good time to upgrade the drivetrain (transmission, tc, clutch, etc.). During the process of collecting the money, parts and time needed to work on it, I made sure it started and ran for 20-30 a couple times a month. Did this for about a year total. (shame on me i know) So for the last year and and a half plus it has just sat.
New/replaced parts:
-SM465 transmission
-1992 NP231 with an AA slipyoke removal kit
-Novak Adapters SM465-NP231 adapter
-Novak Adapters Jeep 2.5L to SM465 bellhousing with clutch/slave etc.
-Green Machine reduxion starter
-New stock fuel pump (3 years old)
-New battery
-New spark plugs
The Problem:
The engine turns over while trying to start the Jeep but it will not continue running. Fuel does flow to the throttle body so it is not a fuel pump problem. But the fuel does not seem to get past the injector. I have not yet checked to see if the distributer is recieving and sending a spark.
My thoughts are:
A- The fuel injector above the throttle body is clogged.
B- (my fear) When removing the flywheel i messed up the positioning of the Crank Position Sensor. In this the ECM is recieving its information at the wrong intervals to produce a spark. When putting everything back on i was mostly sure (over 50% now) that everything was replaced correctly in relation to the CPS.
Any suggestions, questions, queries, conundrums are very welcomed. I miss wheeling and want to get it back on the trail before my 95 year old grandpa comes to visit in 2-3 months.
Thanks,
Bacon
All the old fuel has been siphoned and new high octane has been added with a fuel system treatment/cleaner. And all fluids in the engine, transmission, tc, etc has been replaced.
