Nice Jeep 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 liter L6 VIN "S"




I have one 5.2L V8; good luck.

Code numbers do not go that high for your year Jeep. You have an OBDI, not an OBDII system.

Check for a signal at the ignition coil with a node light or a 12 volt led test light while cranking. Check for a signal at a fuel injector connector jack while cranking. If both these signals are missing. Ignition and fuel signals, then the problem may be some common point. My 've will loose both these signals if there is no crank shaft signal or position sensor. CPS is on rear of engine, on transmission bell housing. Check for connections of PCS.

are they power or ? this could be a fuse problem, actuator, or motor problem

It sounds like focusing on getting the spark then you can start the engine.You want to confirm everything works from the coil, so you can find out what causing the coil is not working. Here are what to check the coil before a replacement::
1- Disconnect the Positive cable on the battery.
2- Hook a spark plug directly to the coil wire ( the one to get to the distribution cap)
3- Find a long double wire so you can connect from the terminals of the primary coil to the battery.
4- Connect each wire end to the terminal of the primary coil. It doesn't matter which polarity.
5- Connect 1 wire to the frame ground.
6- Hold the other wire and quickly swipe it over the positive terminal of the battery. Reapeat it until are sure that you get spark or not.
7- You should see or hear a spark. If this is the case your coil is good. If itis not, your coil is bad and it need a replacement. Problem is solved.
4- If the coil is good, the problem would be from the Primary of the coil back to the ignition key: No electrical signal to turn on the coil.

Hope this can help.

First I would change the plugs, wires, distributor, and rotor button next I would make sure the firing order is correct then have timing checked if all check out have the cylinders tested.I hope this get your Jeep up and running. Please Rate Me . And you can always ask me

Back up a minute...Do you have spark from the coil wire? (juice from coil) If so, change or check rotor and cap (wires do not all go bad at same time so unless they are wet, likely at least good enough to start engine)

OK...I have a 93 outside...one diagram I have shows an ignition module next to coil...but there is none on mine, (4.0 engine)
Two items to check are crank sensor and cam sensor inside distributor. Test procedure can be found in just about any manual including haynes.
You will need a decent volt/ohm meter to do testing. You can also check codes by turning ignition switch on/off three times, leaving it on the third time. Check engine will flash code #'s (ex: one flash, pause two flashes= the number twelve.then followed by a longer pause then another set of flashes etc.)
