Also checked the resistance on the injectors. I got around 14.5.

Much thanks Moses. Just to update a bit. I had some time to go over some small things the past few days. I cleaned the ECU contacts & used some die electric grease on them. Neither the connector or the ECU pins looked corroded. All looked well. I used a flashlight to see inside the holes on the plug connector side. The firewall area around the ecu was rusty, Just some surface rust so I removed the surface rust and quickly spot painted that area. Used the air hose to blow out the dust too. I swapped out the cap rotor & plug wires. I had to fix up some of the bolts that hold the coolant reservoir & washer fluid reservoir. Its in alot better shape than what it was. I checked the Throttle postiion sensor tonight. DMM on DCV 20, Key on but not started. Stand still or Idle 0.81, Throttle wide open 3.78. I managed to find a source for a FSM on this year model jeep. I downloaded it but have yet to read it as my pc is having problems with abode reader. Some type of error is occurring. Ill need to fix my pc or find another to read the manual. I plan on getting a timing light and a compression test kit. I just havent gotten to the store just yet. I did read about doing a leak down test as well but need to research more on how to go about doing that. I did read all of your notes and will follow thru with them. Just wanted to give a small update on what I got to so far. I was in fact thinking along the lines of the CPS sensor being possibly saturated with oil from the oil leak. Im not 100% sure if the rear main seal is out as I did find the 4 rear valve cover bolts loose when I replaced the seal and cleaned the PCV/CCV screen on the cover. I am thinking all that oil was coming from the valve cover instead. Again not 100% sure but when it runs I do not see any blue smoke or smell of the oil burning. The muffler and tail pipe is off the jeep from the previous owner. It does have a catylitic on it. I was unsure if I could removed that CPS sensor or not. I wanted to check that a few months ago but I read somewhere online that you shouldnt remove it due to the sensor being in a certain position. I wanted to seek more information on someone more knowledgeable than I about removing it to check that? It sounds to me like it is okay to remove and inspect then correct? Another thing I wanted to mention was after getting everything back on the jeep and ready to test fire it to see if the cap rotor plug wires made any changes. I could not get it to start. A few coughs shakes etc but 12 to 13 times and it wouldnt fire up. So I sprayed some starter fluid into the throttle body. Just a couple squirts. Place the hose back on the air cleaner box and turned the key. Upon first crank it started VAROOOM!!!!! Sounding strong. It ran well. I am wondering if I have a clogged injector? I was thinking about taking the rail off and cleaning the injectors with some carb cleaner. I found a tutorial online on how to do it. Let me know your thoughts. Again I appreciate all your input and will follow thru with the other information you have listed. P.s. What are your thoughts on the TPS readings?

What I did was took the 94 gas tank out and put my 95 gas tank in as I knew there were no problems with the 95 gas tank. I didn't take anything apart as I figured I had it so why run to the parts store for something it may not need. I still have the 95 gas tank in and hooked up. I do plan on rechecking the 94 gas tank but since it is running I figured leave the 95 hooked up for now. The check engine light does come on. I have checked for codes but only getting 12- battery disconnected, 33 A/C which is not equipped with the Jeep, and 55- End.I was surprised to see no other codes show up with it running this way. I am unaware if any showed up for the previous owner and when I asked he said he didn't know and just couldnt get it started. Ahh! Okay I have a lil bit better understanding on the coil after reading your comment. I was following this guys tutorial video Im not sure how he got the 12v constant reading without it running. I do have an inline tester I shall have to try this out. I tired it a few weeks ago and it did have spark. Im not sure how strong the spark was though. Okay thanks I will have the battery tested and see what the read out says on it. I have cleaned up the grounds as I read that is usually the first problem on these vehciles is corrosive grounds. I have not done any of this and will have to research how to . Thank you. Beauty!!! Something else I wasnt aware of and didnt check. I will have to search on how to test that. Gotcha!! I will check the wire diagrams. I will have to see what and where I can get one. Thanks for mentioning that. I never gave that a thought. I would like to remove the wire loom and have a better look at all the wires as well. When I bought it, it was just so dirty with oil and grime that it took me some time to get it this far where you can actually see what youre working on. It shaped up pretty nice but wondering if it will continue to stay that clean as Im wondering if it has a rear main seal leak or was it from the 4 loose valve cover screws?

Hello there, I've been having some problems with my 94 YJ 2.5L Jeep Wrangler. I bought it broke. It was a crank all day, no start. then one day over the previous winter I decided to try it again. To my surprise it started. Ive been testing things & replacing things. So far I swapped out my gas tank with a good known to work fuel pump. I took the original tank and put it on the side. I put a new fuel filter in it. I also replaced some fuses under the dash & PDC as they were blown when I bought it from the previous owner. I know there was one 10 amp in the PDC that needed replacing This week I have replaced the spark plugs as I pulled them and found they were pure black with the smell of gas. It didnt take the new plugs long to look the same and smell the same with gas. They also look wet from gas. That was just a few quick starts and letting it idle. The ECU seems to be okay as the check engine light does come on. One problem I have found amongst my search over these months of fiddling with it was the power to the coil is 0.04. I checked the battery and i have 12.7 volts on that. I go directly to the coil wire (Key on) and I get 0.04 on the multimeter. I believe I have the multimeter set up correctly as I get a correct reading on the battery. I have tried to get some tests on some sensors, i.e. map, crankshaft position sensor, O2 sensor but I havent been successful at it as I think I using the wrong settings for ohms. I have cleaned the throttle body on it. I have also cleaned the IAC sensor. The jeep does have a wire mishap somewhere around the PDC/battery area. I know it cut out all power to the computer and everything was completely dead. I notice when I shake the wire loom that those wires lead to the front axle diaphragm is when it cuts power to everything. I havent been able to locate that yet and it hasnt happened lately. But then again I havent been using this thing as I work on it as funds & time allow. I test the fuel pressure with this known fuel pump to be good and pressure held after shutdown and it also held over night. I did swap the fuel pressure regulator with a good used one I had laying around. I also pulled the vacuum line on the fuel pressure regulator while I had the testor on the rail. It jumped to around 39lbs off. And then returned to 31 or 32 when placed back on. I have posted a recent video of when I try to start it for the first time of the day. Once it starts it seems to start much easier. No so many cranks to take it to fire up. But after it sits for a long period its back to usual with long crank times. I also noticed it is hesitation on a quick rev of the gas pedal. But if you ease it, it acts normal. I put a new alternator on it as over time the original froze up on me. I also put a new serpentine belt on it. I just recently cleaned the screens on the valve cover along with a nee valve cover. The 4 bolts on the back of the valve cover were loose. When I bought it the motor and underneath was covered in oil. So over the months I have been cleaning everything up. Its looking much better than it once did now if I can only fix the problem to get it running better. lol! I have enclosed a couple photos as well. One is how I have everything set up for testing the voltage to the coil plug. One is of the old plugs that came out. One is from after shut down showing the pressure held. One of is a blue wire that has been spliced with connectors on it by a previous owner. A few things when funds allow in the future would be to replace the spark plug wires, cap, & rotor. I also want to buy a timing light to check the timing. Otherwise Im not really sure what else to do here and was seeking some advice on where to look next. I did notice the front axle diaphragm is leaking. It looks like the whole housing is compromise some way. I see a gasket there but also see blue rtv added along with two large radiator clamps tied together to hold the thing on. I do see the housing has all 4 bolts on it as well. I have yet to dig into that. lol ! Here is the video link of how its acting.
