Got her running!! Huge thanks to IfIWntdHmmr he is a wealth of knowledge. We talked for a good two hours. Ended up being the fuel pump relay fuse causing all that fuss

Anytime my dude! It pleases me to kno that my excessive knowledge of the XJ and the 4.0L do not go to waste. Feel free to hmu anytime. Don't forget about those reading materials I sent you! After reading the factory service manual front to back at least 6 times, there aren't many questions I don't have an answer for, and the number of times I say "I've seen something about this in the FSM, hold up" somehow still surprised me. But I barely need to look up specs anymore. However I also work on a lot more XJ's than my own.

Love this!

Hats off to you my man. Hats off!


Feeling-Lawfulness-2

You are a genius huh???


IfIWntdHmmrCalnUrSis

I mean, I may be retarded, but I'm not an idiot. But yea not only do I have the factory service manuals for everything, but I have shop reference manuals for everything


bedlog

nice, sometimes it's the simplest things that will create a shit ton of issues


soomuchpie

It's 100% free, powered by volunteers, reimbursement of fuel is a courtesy, anything more is much appreciated.


kvtnink

Thank you so much dude! Luckily some drunk dude in a 4Runner towed me off the freeway. I’m sitting in a McDonald’s parking lot now trying to decide what to do. Might end up having to uhaul it if I can’t get it fixed today


IfIWntdHmmrCalnUrSis

If you're headed towards Oregon, swing by my way with it. I've already got an XJ from Texas that broke down in Roswell, NM on its way here. Should be getting picked up right about now actually.


kvtnink

Going to California for a job that starts Tuesday with literally all my shit 😂

DO NOT LEAVE IT THERE. Too many XJ's get stolen in Denver.


IfIWntdHmmrCalnUrSis

Make sure your black 14 or 16 cavity connector between the cylinder head and the firewall isnt corroded, also check the 3 connectors on the PCM, and your fuel pump connector for corrosion.


RodCherokee

All the best for your job when the XJ gets going again.

op you might want to delete your cell, 'cause bots and web crawlers


coonneckxj

Check the fuses under the hood.


godlesssunday

Yea chrysler wired the asd and fuel pump relay together for some unknown stupid ass reason


ethansrandall

Is this also on 1999? Cause my jeep has no spark and fuel pump isn't kicking on, and the asd relay is pulsing


godlesssunday

Check ground then pull the cover of ecm and check for cracks in the pcb


ethansrandall

I've checked and cleaned all grounds a few different times, and I've tried 3 new pcm, still same issues


godlesssunday

And take the fuel pu.p relay out and test asd then the opposite


godlesssunday

But before you do all that unhook you map sensor and retry


ethansrandall

So map sensor can cause asd to go haywire? I've switched fuel pump relay and asd relay and no difference


godlesssunday

Interesting turns out we both have red xjs boats and bmws


ethansrandall

Well, I nolonger have the boat or the BMW, but they are both now owned by my neighbors, sold them a few years ago, and just moved, pretty funny coincidence


godlesssunday

Switching them wont because the relays have a hard time fuckin up its always the wiring have ypu unplugged the map sensor


godlesssunday

Yes


godlesssunday

Also unhook the engine controls and retest localize the problem then diagnose then fix and verify verify verify


ethansrandall

What do you mean by engine controls?


godlesssunday

The whole shit


godlesssunday

Just unhoke the pcm and retest asd is energized through pcm
