i assumed u checked that :).

with a 15l motor and a 18 speed.gear box :).

lots of tires on that thing. U could deff survive in Johnson valley with that.

i disagree if the check engine light comes on the ecu is firing up.

If u have spark then u dont have fuel. Either no pressure from the rail or injectors are not firing. Im still betting on a bad fuel pump or wiring to it

i doubt it. How do u know u have spark. Do u have an in line tester and u can see the light turn on? The fact that the tach doesnt bouce screams cps or dist sync sensor. The lack of these signals will keep the computer from firing the injectors.

Can confirm spark.... shoot starting fluid down the intake it should fire up if u have spark. If it doesnt it goes back to those 2 sensors being am issue.

i would have to review the diagrams. There r only a few things that can cause the auto shut down to activate.

Does the check engine light turn on when u turn the key to start? This will tell u if the computer us turning on.

Does the tach bounce a little when cranking? Will tell u if the cps is sending a signal

There is a 10amp fuse in the under hood fuse box i think labeled iod. It will kill the relay power, double check it.

Pull the bottom off the under hood fuse box and look for chaffed or brocken wires.

its just really hard to diagnose over the internet. Is the fuel pump getting power as u try to start or does power to it turn off? U may have to use a paper clip and some wire to make a lead off the plug. If it turns iff then the auto shut down relay is killing the pump circuit.

ill put u in line but it may be after july 4th. I have a car stuck on the lift right now.

the pump will cycle for 3-5 seconds when u first turn the key. U do not have to start it. This will be enough to pressurize the rail. U can pull the quick disco near the harness plug or off the motor, hold up a bucket and have someone turn the key. U should hear the pump and fuel should pour out with a lot of force. U may want to put a larger hose over line to direct it. It will make a mess if its working.

If its working at that point the then the auto shut down relay may be killing the pump circuit. There r several causes for this. First determine if the pump is pushing.

I have also seen the feed hose internal to the tank in the pump assembly come loose. U will have to drop the tank to inspect.

pumps can "run" and still not build pressure. U have just got a bad one.

u need air, fuel and spark for it to run. I asshme u have a new air filter so confirm u have fuel pressure at the rail and then we can help some more.

i guess it could be a couple things but it sounds like the rim or tire is contacting something. I would take it back to the tire shop. Let them pull the wheel and inspect. There should be whitness marks. U can also jack that corner off the ground, turn hard right and spin the wheel and see if u feel anything hanging up.

correct. I did this swap in 1999 with a 91xj motor and harness and all my original 88 dash worked

u can hang out and help if i do the install. I just use my lift to get the jeep off the ground.

With the wheel backspacing you may hit the control arms and reduce your turning radius. The rears may rub the springs? Not really recomended but u can get 1/4" spacers.

i have done this swap many times. The gauges r indipedant of the computer. U may have to drill and tap the back of the head for the 88 temp sensor, oil sender u can just use the 88 one and ignore the 95 wires. If that bothers u, u can "t" the block port and run both senders. Spedo is a cable, u can get the pass through vss from a 91-93 for the t-case. The tach will work by tapping into the coil wire. I think its the gray wire.

I have the diagrams if u get stuck u can come over and figure it out.

i think u will be fine with those specs. I can do the lift and regear if u get to that point.

he has been sending people to me but im just as busy. Pm me if u want to talk.

double check with slowpoke. He got some shims from my house this morn and might have it back together already?

Im around pm me if u want to discuss a gear install

the jks lifts r nice too. The progressive rate springs option makes for a real nice ride.

Sorry cant help on the tire issue
