YJ just shut off driving down the road. Engine turns over fine but will not start. Got fuel. Checked fire and do not have it coming into coil. Checked fuses. Thinking ignition switch? Any help will be greatly appreciated
 
Ignition switches rarely go bad. Auto or manual? Did it sputter out or die immediately? Check for loose or disconnected wires especially around the coil, distributor and CPS. If sputtered out maybe fuel pump or clogged fuel filter. Check for codes with your ignition key and the check engine light (if you don't know how we can tell you). My first thought is Crank Position Sensor.
 
Thanks for the suggestions! Will check all until problem is located. Will post what it ended up. Thanks again, Capteng3
 
Look at the fuse panel under the dash, it will say DOME LIGHT and should have a 15amp fuse. Its more than likely blown, so put a new fuse in and it should crank right up. I learned this trick form a friend, it sounds dumb but it should work. Its like some kinda security thing, let me know if it works :beer:
