ok so my buddy Adam just bought a 97 TJ after being in the honda world for years..... :ghey:

anyways there is one major problem we discovered today while making the purchase... it does not start.


the engine turns over and thats it.
we pumped the gas as we turned it over and checked the spark plugs and the spark plugs(plugs are creating spark) were still dry... but it smells like fuel when we crank the engine.
could it be fuel pump? even though we can smell gas in the engine area?
also the gas seems pretty old... but even if it is old shouldn't there be evidence of fuel on the spark plugs?

Thanks, Robbie

The crank position sensor is famous for causing this problem also.
