I have don't just about everything possibe. I tested everything and still can't find the issue. I Don't know what to do. I cranks normally but wont turn over. Also I can't figure out why my injectors aren't firing. I need some help let me know anything possible to get this car on the road.

I had a similar problem in my 1987 jeep cherokee. If I put it in gear (manual transmission) and rocked it back and forth, I could get it to start. I would check the starter relay. If it makes a clicking sound when you try to start it (even after it turns over a couple times) it could be a low battery, in which case all you need to do is get a jump start.

Try these two things
1- pick up cord(under the distributor cap)
2- crankshat positioning sensor(on the transmission)
that fixed my problem for 5 months.
Unfortunantly it went out today!
Now I need to find out what made it go out again?

If works email me at bradencjones@yahoo. Com

or if you find something else out please send info

best luck!
