i have been trying to figure out different scenarios where changing a radiator hose and a thermostat would cause a no start condition. the only electrical sensor that i know is in front of a 4.0 liter is the Coolant Temp. sensor. could you have pinched a wire or maybe not have reconnected this sensor? , but even then that would not be a cause for a no start condition. can you gather more symptoms?

I am going to try and see if timing is off. It will turn over and try to start. My Dad was a back yard mech and now that he has passed I still ask him. And he shows me in some way. I keep going back to timing and water pump.

Check it for fuel and spark also. this will help us narrow it down a bit.

 

[wrangler_x03]

you didnt over heat the motor when the hose brake did you?

Coolant spray inside the distributor?

Coolant spray inside the distributor?

Thats what I would be thinking. Only way I could think a broken radiator hose could cause a "no start" condition.

 

[SteelHeadz]

It make's sense.

 

[ladybrat1]

I was able to read all of the suggestions and will be looking for them tonight when I get home.

 

[ladybrat1]

I will be working on the jeep this weekend. And with luck and the help from all I hope to get running

 

[ladybrat1]

I am getting no spark from to spark plug. Distributor is alittle bit carroaded. So am getting new one. And also have to check fuel llines to make sure am getting fuel.

 

[ladybrat1]
