1988 Jeep Wagoneer 1988 Wagoneer starting problems

Hello,

If I am not mistaken that year does not have a Crank or a Cam Sensor.

With what you describe it sounds like the Ignition Control Module which is located on the passenger side wheel well.

Ok, doesn't show a Crank Sensor on that year. Howerver, yes it can cause the problem, the knock sensor can also cause the problem.

.

Ok, Also when the vehicle wouldn't start did you check to see if you had spark going into the Cap and at the Plugs?

Also did you check for fuel if you have good spark?

.

Ok, according to specs the fuel pressure should be 31 psi and with vacuum line removed from regulator pressure should be 39 psi.

So, I would say you have a weak fuel pump.

Here is another test you can perform for comformation.

1. Remove cap from pressure test port in fuel rail. Connect Fuel Pressure Gauge (J-37730-1) to pressure fitting. Start vehicle. Pressure should be approximately 31 psi (2.7 kg/cm 2 ) with vacuum hose connected to pressure regulator.

2. Pressure should be 39 psi (2.74 kg/cm 2 ) with vacuum hose removed from regulator. If fuel pressure is not to specifications, check for kinks or restricting bends in fuel supply and return lines. Check fuel pump flow rate. Pump should deliver minimum of 1.06 quarts (one liter) of fuel per minute with fuel return line pinched off.

3. If flow is inadequate, check system for plugged fuel filter or filter sock. Fuel pump flow rate can be checked by connecting a hose to fuel test port on fuel rail and inserting other end in clean container.

4. To operate fuel pump, install a jumper wire into diagnostic connector terminals D1-5 and D1-6. Pinch off fuel return line to ensure that no fuel returns to fuel tank. If fuel pressure is still not to specifications and fuel flow is normal, replace regulator.

.

Ok, Check for loose or bad wires in relay harness.

If all appear tight and in good condition check numbers on relay then check other relays for matching numbers and swap them out. Then start vehicle and see what happens.
