Jeep Died....Help
While coming home from work today, my 97 Jeep Wrangler just died. There was
no prior warning of anything. I filled up the gas on the way home but still, instantaneous death? Anyway, anybody that has troubleshot (troubleshooted?) something like this before, I appreciate your help. My standard logic is its gotta be gas, air, or electric. Oh, by the way, it will still crank like hell, just won't even try to start. Thanks in advance for any help................ |

Always the first guess on those engines is the CPS. You can just clean
or even reseat the plug usually and be good to go again. The plug for it is near the back of the engine on top of the manifold. It is located on the bell housing in behind there.

I found my problem. I installed a Ford Taurus fan awhile back and the relay
died causing fuse 11 to burn out. This is the fuse labeled for the Power Distribution Center. Anyway, I jerry rigged it back into operation using the spare relay that was connected to the A/C. My question now is what's a reliable relay that I can use? The ones i'm using are for 73? Ford F-350 ignition I think. I was following online directions. I want something good to keep from looking like a dumb*ss on the side of the road again for awhile. Any suggestions?

"Jerry Rigged" I like that:
http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~brians/errors/jerry.html I would take the fans relay out of line, hooking it directly to the battery at the first cable junction, and just trigger if via the ignition switch. Otherwise you're asking for a fire, as the harness is is designed to just run the amperage needed and no more.
