Let's get down to the nitty gritty.
99 XJ 4x4
4.0 Auto
147000 miles
It runs without fuel going to it and a shot of starting fluid. But....
Got Fuel - 49 lbs while starting and about 46 once I stop and it holds
Got Spark - pulled several different plug wires, shoved old plug in it and got fire.
Got compression - compression tester.. wooooo
Exhaust smells like fuel, Noid light pulses on injectors..
I can pull the fuel pump relay, clear and dry out the cylinders and plugs, spray in some starting fluid and it'll run for 10 seconds. As soon as I toss the fuel pump relay back in it dies and it goes back to not wanting to run.
Pumped about 12oz of fuel from the rail into a clear bottle and do not see any hint of water. But doesn't mean there isnt any in it or just too much I cant tell.
How it started:
Bought it a month ago. Drove it from Bama to VA (920 Miles) without a single problem. Looked at houses all day with the real estate agent. Came back drove it to dinner. Got back in drove to a friends and as we pulled into their road it started sputtering. Next morning it would not run. I have until Saturday to get it running or I am going to take it to a shop and let them rip me a new asshole. I have no other choice at the moment as I don't have a house here yet, living in the barracks, and barely have any tools.
Brain is in shutdown mode at the moment, cant think of what else.
