1996 Jeep Cherokee that turns over but will not start no spark to the distributor or the spark plugs replaced the ignition coil and the pick-up coil in the distributor Engine is getting fuel .?

There's also the crankshaft position sensor mounted on the drivers side / top of the transmission housing. Some auto parts stores carry them, some don't. The voltage connector is on top of the intake manifold, near the firewall. Also check the voltage to the ignition coil.


Would a bad coil pack cause a crank sensor code?

Yes it very well could, because a misfiring coil pack or weak coil pack can cause interruptions in the signals to both the camshaft position sensor into the crankshaft position sensor. I had this happen on my Buick LeSabre, it gave a code 18, which is Cam / crank position sensor error okay. I replaced all three coil packs, and it went away and never came back. If you look at the diagram for the wiring of your ignition control module, you'll see that the coil packs, ignition control module, and camshaft and crankshaft position sensors are all interconnected.


You replaced the distributor cap and have the firing order correct but it backfires when you start it?

Double check, then triple check your firing order. Especially which distributor post is #1. Sounds like you're one off.

AnswerAfter you check the obvious, ie module, connectors, look for loose distributor shaft that causes the hall effect sensor in the distributor to not energize. i would check your Crankshaft Position Sensor its located at the top of the bell houseing on the drivers sideView of uninstalled Crankshaft Position Sensor.View of rear of engine showing Crankshaft Position Sensor & harness highlighted in red.Great photo showing location of CPS on bellhousing.NOTE: I found this pic on my harddrive and have no clue where it came from.

Where is the crankshaft position sensor on a 1994 Hyundai Elantra 1.8L?

Crankshaft Position Sensor 1994 HyundaiI have the Haynes repair manual for 1986-1998 Hyundai Accel and Accents. The book states the CKP is incorporated in the distributor body in 1994 and earlier models, if faulty, the complete distributor assembly will have to be replaced. On 1995 and later models the CKP is located at the rear of the engine near the transaxle bell housing. I realize this is not your exact model, but it may point you in the right direction. You may also consider calling the service department at your Hyundai dealer and asking them. .
